Meet Chestnut, the little guy with big charm and even bigger heart!

Her is so friendly, playful, and has a fantastic personality—equal parts curious explorer and championship-level cuddler. And those stunning eyes? They’ll stop you in your tracks and melt you on the spot.

Chestnut was recently surrendered to a Memphis rescue, where he was welcomed into one of their wonderful foster homes. He’s thriving there and getting along beautifully with everyone—resident dogs, his foster siblings, even the cats. In fact, he loves the cats so much that he sometimes even lays in bed with them.

His housetraining is coming along, and he does very well in his crate when his foster parents are out. But at night, he prefers the warmth of their bed and the comfort of being close. Chestnut has also proven to be an easy, happy traveler during car rides.

This precious boy is ready to bring love, laughter, and loyal companionship to a family of his own. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate pup to brighten your days, Chestnut just might be the perfect match.

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.
