Meet Royal and Riot — two little charmers who are stealing hearts everywhere they go.

These precious babies were found abandoned on the side of the road covered in fleas from head to toe, but their luck quickly turned around when rescue stepped in. Now safe and thriving in their southern foster home, they’re soaking up all the love and learning what it means to be cherished family members.

Royal and Riot are as sweet as they come. They adore cuddles, playtime, and romping around with each other and their older canine foster sibling. Equally important in their little routines? Nap time! These pups have already mastered the art of curling up for cozy snoozes after a good round of play.

A typical day for these two includes early-morning potty breaks, breakfast, more potty breaks, play sessions, snacks, naps, dinner, and winding down for bedtime. They are currently working on both house and crate training, and with their eagerness to please, they’ll pick it up quickly in a loving forever home.

Whether you’re looking for a playful sidekick, a snuggle buddy, or both, Royal and Riot are ready to fill your home with joy. Adopt one of these adorable, trainable pups, and you’ll gain a loyal friend for life.

The adoption fee also includes the transport fee when applicable

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.
