Meet Puzzles, a delightful puppy brimming with curiosity and bravery. Her intelligence shines through as she navigates new challenges with a wagging tail and eager eyes.

This sweet girl was found all alone as a stray and taken to a southern shelter. She was diagnosed with mange, but thanks to plenty of TLC and soothing baths, her skin and coat are healing beautifully.

Puzzles is not just playful; she’s a friend to everyone she meets, embodying a joyful spirit that truly lights up any room she is in.

At her foster home, Puzzles is already doing amazing and making great strides in potty and crate training. She also travels well!

She is the missing piece in the puzzle of your life, ready to bring laughter and companionship. This pup will do well in any household that is all in on what a puppy needs to grow and socialize as well as basic training.

Adopt Puzzles today and discover the boundless joy and unconditional love she brings to every moment.

The adoption fee also includes the transport fee when applicable

For MASSACHUSETTS RESIDENTS ONLY - Dogs importing into Massachusetts (regardless of where they are coming from) are subject to quarantine for 48 hours at one of two facilities - Medfield or Westport. You will be responsible for picking your dog/puppy up from the facility on the Monday after arrival in New England.

There is also an additional cost of $125.00 per dog payable to Paws New England - we pay the quarantine facility directly. Paws NE does not benefit from this payment - it is paid for the use of the quarantine facilities only.

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.
