Stormy Skies (local)

Fill out an adoption form

Stormy is now in New England !

Stormy was left by her owner on a side street in Memphis—just a puppy. They did leave her dog bed with her, though, so I guess that's okay.,,,,,,No, it isn't.

Sweet Stormy is just a baby, and it's apparent her owners left her because she had a fractured hip. The poor thing couldn't walk, and it was super painful.

One of our volunteers' husbands saw her, drove by, and, thank goodness, returned and picked her up. She just came into our care and had a hip repair first thing in the morning (9/19).

We will update you as we get to know her better, but our guess is she will be lovely. The surgery should have no long-term effects and is often done.

If you have seen her face and can't resist, the application link is above!!

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 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.
