Meet Marietta!

This tiny survivor was found all alone outside a grocery store in Memphis — but don’t worry, she’s safe and thriving now in her foster home! At just 6–7 weeks old (as of November 3, 2025), Marietta is the picture of puppy sweetness and spunk.

She’s a happy, mischievous little girl who loves to play, explore, and snuggle when she’s done with her adventures. Like all young pups, she’s still learning the ropes — including house training and crate time — but her foster family says she’s catching on fast.

Marietta lives with both dogs and cats, so she’s getting great early socialization. She’ll need to complete two rounds of vaccines before she’s ready to travel to New England, but once she is, she’ll be more than ready to find her forever family.

If you’re looking for a playful, loving pup to grow up with, Marietta is your girl!

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.
