My story

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

In late November, nine adorable puppies, approximately five weeks old, were rescued from Memphis's cold, scary streets alongside their beautiful black-and-white pittie mom. Now safe, warm, and thriving in a loving foster home, they’re soaking up all the love, care, and snuggles they can get.

These pups are growing up surrounded by other dogs, curious kitties, and lots of human affection, making them well-socialized and ready to become cherished members of their future families. While their dad(s) are a mystery, their personalities are already shining bright!

We hope to bring these sweet babies to New England by the end of December, just in time to find them foster and forever homes. If you want to add a playful, cuddly, and loving companion to your family, one of these pups could be your perfect match!

Breed: Pit Bull Terrier/Crossbreed
Age: 6 weeks as of 12/7
Weight:
Spayed/Neutered: Too young - Spay/Neuter Contract will be required and strictly enforced.
Vaccinations: Puppy vaccines will be up to date - all vaccinations required after adoption are the responsibility of the adopter.
Heartworm: Too young (testing is done at 6 months of age)
Housetrained: Not usually
Microchipped: Yes

Location of dog currently: Memphis but they will arrive to New England prior to adoption.

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

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.
