My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet the James St. Litter!
Harry J, Della J, Ella J, Leona J, Moxie J, Vickie J, and Tori J.
Everyone of them a sweet adorable cuddly puppy!!

These babies were abandoned in a backyard in the terrible Texas heat with no food or water before being rescued. Thank goodness none are showing any health issues and all have healthy appetites.

Moxie is just so feisty and playful!! Moxie is a rough and tumble girl who loves to play with everyone. She loves playing keep away and tug of war with the other puppies. She will chase and return stuffies.

She is crate trained and doggie door trained.

Moxie is calming down from her puppy stage but is still a very busy girl. She’s a talker, ask her "Do Wanna play" she talks. She doesn’t like what you say to her- she tells you about it. She has a very serious look on her face but, trust me, she is a clown.

This precious girl shares her toys and her love. She’s 26 lbs. of joy.
She is crate trained and working on leash skills.

Moxie is just learning all her basic skills and will need to continue working on those skills when she goes to any new home. She would love an older brother or sister to hang out with and learn from.
We would ask any new family to keep her socialized so she grows up to be her best doggie self!!

Check out a couple of videos of this amazing girl:

Puppy Adoption Fee:  $550.00 (includes a spay/neuter surgery rebate of up to $200.00 to be paid to the adopter when proof of spay/neuter is provided to Paws New England). We can provide a list of low-cost SN clinics to adopters when requested. 

The adoption fee also includes the transport fee.

ATTENTION PUPPY ADOPTERS:  You must attend training/behavior classes with your new dog unless you are experienced dog owners 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 at a time 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 important in this puppy's life. Do you have the time?

Please consider purchasing this book before adopting.  Perfect Puppy in 7 Days - How to Start Your Puppy Off Right, Sophia Yin, DVM - it is an amazing book that we recommend very highly and have had amazing feedback on.

Where Your Purchase Helps Support Rescue!

More about this rescue

PAWS is comprised of a small group of volunteers from New England and Tennessee trying to reduce the euthanization rate (previously 90%) at the Tipton County Animal Control shelter in Brighton, Tennessee. This shelter is forced to euthanize thousands of animals each year due to irresponsible pet owners that do not spay/ neuter their dogs in the area. Millions of dogs in America are euthanized each year due to lack of space and lack of funding to try and find them better homes.

Our mission is to save as many animals as possible, removing them from the shelter, having their veterinary needs met prior to traveling and then finding them loving homes throughout New England. We do this only with the assistance of many people volunteering their time by going to the shelter, transporting the dogs to the vet, fostering dogs who need special care, and arranging for their new and happy homes in this area. Most importantly, we cannot do any of this without those people willing to open their homes and hearts to these lovely creatures.
