Meet Abigail!

Abigail is a sweet and snuggly Australian Shepherd puppy with a soft tan coat and a heart full of love! She adores being held and cuddled—if you're looking for a puppy who loves affection, Abigail is your girl!

She and her brother Tobias, who is also for adoption, were found all alone in a wooded are
a by a young family who asked one of our southern rescuers for help finding him a home.

She enjoys playing with her brother, Tobias, and the smaller foster pups, and she's been great with children and elderly visitors. While she hasn't been on a leash yet due to her young age, she's already a great traveler with no car sickness. She's crate-trained and uses puppy pads, but like all puppies, she'll need continued training in her forever home.

Abigail was rescued from the woods with her brother and is now looking for a loving family ready to guide her through puppyhood. She'll thrive in a home that's excited to train, play, and snuggle with her as she grows.

If you're ready for an affectionate, playful, and lovable companion, Abigail is waiting to meet you!

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 crucial in this puppy's life. Do you have the time?

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.
