Paradise

Fill out an adoption form

All alone on the streets of Memphis, probably since birth, she is around 7 months now.

She is lucky in that she wandered into the yard of a woman who reached out for help. Even though she couldn't bring her inside, because she had dogs of her own, she asked on FB for someone to come pick her up. Her new fosters saw the post and sent someone to get her.  

When she was picked up and brought into rescue, (8/16), she was brought directly to the vet. Her diagnosis of Demodex mange was not surprising, treatment was started ASAP. Otherwise she was healthy.

She's a happy puppy, she is not super shy, walks up to people with her tail wagging, and is just delightful. She has all the puppy energy her foster mom says she is all legs and clumsy... In the nicest of ways of course!! She is only 7 months so she will benefit from puppy classes.

She is crate trained and will sleep in her crate all night. She plays great with all the other dogs in her foster home. She can be a little rowdy but once that wears off its nap time.


If you think this girl has already stolen your heart, don't wait apply now!!!!!

Puppy Adoption Fee:  $550.00 (includes a spay/neuter surgery rebate of up to $200.00 to be paid to the adopter when proof of spay/neuter is provided to Paws New England). We can provide adopters with a list of low-cost SN clinics when requested. 

The adoption fee also includes the transport fee.

ATTENTION PUPPY ADOPTERS:  You must attend training/behavior classes with your new dog unless you are an experienced dog owner and your adoption coordinator is comfortable with your experience.  This requirement is for the benefit of you and your puppy, so if you experience behavior issues, you have a point of contact.  

PLEASE—Think long and hard before adopting a puppy. Consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with. He cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours at a time until he's older. Puppy-proofing your home will be necessary. Puppies scratch and nip, so if you have small children, can they handle this? Training will be so important in this puppy's life. Do you have the time?

Please consider purchasing this book before adopting.  Perfect Puppy in 7 Days - How to Start Your Puppy Off Right, Sophia Yin, DVM - it is an amazing book that we recommend very highly and have had amazing feedback on.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue. Our dogs reside in various locations throughout the South and New England.  

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
