Fill out an adoption form

Talk about perfect timing! ❤️. Fun fact about Stanley, he is the shy and timid one of the liter, he MUST HAVE a confident doggie friend in the home to show him the ropes. He so wants to come to you and will stay an arms length aways until he is sure with is tail wagging the entire time.

Mama Nessa was a stray in Memphis, Tennessee, when she was rescued and quickly transported to the Connecticut Humane Society.. They hoped to find a foster home before her puppies arrived, but Nessa had other plans! She gave birth to TEN gorgeous puppies just hours after arriving there. Talk about cutting it close!

PAWS New England was asked if we'd take the little family, and of course, we said YES!

Fast-forward weeks, and these adorable little nuggets are healthy, happy, growing like weeds, and enjoying life in a wonderful New England foster home. Each has their own beautiful face, coloring, and personality as they grow.

We'll share more about their individual personalities as they develop. In the meantime, if one of these little faces makes your heart skip a beat, we encourage you to apply!

BUT FIRST… LET'S TALK ABOUT PUPPIES!

Before applying, please make sure you're ready for:
🐾 Time and attention: Puppies need supervision, companionship, socialization, training, and plenty of interaction. If everyone is gone all day, leaving a puppy home alone for hours isn't fair to the puppy.
🐾 Middle-of-the-night potty breaks: Yes, even in the middle of a New England winter. When nature calls, you're going outside!
🐾 House-training: Accidents happen. Floors need cleaning, schedules need adjusting, and patience is a must. Consistency is the key to success.
🐾 Crate training: Your puppy needs to learn that the crate is a safe, comfortable place to rest. This takes time and positive reinforcement, not simply shutting the door and hoping for the best.
🐾 Chewing, teething, and puppy antics: Shoes, furniture, fingers, and anything left within reach may suddenly become the most fascinating objects on earth. Puppy-proofing is essential!
🐾 Training and socialization: Puppies don't arrive knowing how to walk politely on a leash, greet people appropriately, or become well-mannered adult dogs. Training classes, positive reinforcement, and continued guidance will help them grow into wonderful companions.
🐾 A lifetime commitment: Puppies grow up! They're adorable little babies today, but they'll need exercise, training, veterinary care and love for years to come.

A puppy's love and joy far outweighs any trials and tribulations, but the commitment has to come first. Then you will be rewarded with puppy kisses, silly antics, joyful greetings, first walks, milestones, and the incredible experience of watching a little life grow into your very best friend.

If you're ready for the work, the laughter, and a whole lot of love, one of Nessa's ten little wonders might be the perfect addition to your family!

Apply soon, because we suspect these babies won't be waiting long!

Important Information

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue. Our dogs are cared for in foster homes throughout the South and New England.

Your adoption donation helps cover veterinary care, transportation, and other expenses for your adopted dog. It also helps us continue to save senior dogs and dogs with serious medical needs or injuries. While their adoption donations are often reduced, their veterinary costs are typically much higher.

When you adopt a young, healthy dog or puppy, you're also helping us give another dog a second chance. Thank you for supporting our mission and making rescue possible.
