Nudge

Fill out an adoption form

Meet Nudge, a sweet and mellow puppy with a heart full of curiosity. This friendly and brave little one loves discovering new things and greets everyone with a gentle demeanor.

This precious boy was found as a stray in AL along with his siblings, Smudge and Pudge, (also up for adoption!!)

Now in a southern foster home, he has done well being socialized with adult dogs and puppies. Because of his quite medium energy level, foster feels he would also be fine with cats and children.

Nudge is improving daily with both crate and house training. He also has enjoyed all his short car trips so far.

One of Nudge's charming traits is his adorable head tilt when he's trying to understand something new. His bravery and tender nature make him the perfect companion for any adventure or cozy day at home.

This wonderful pup is ready to bring joy and companionship to a loving home that’s all in on puppy patience and socializing.
He is longing to keep exploring the world and sharing his unconditional love every single step of the way.

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.
