My Story
Meet the most adorable Andy, an incredibly smart and eager pup, ready to learn and grow.
Andy, along with another pup, Quincy (also up for adoption), were found abandoned in a Walmart parking lot, where they kept running into the store, desperate for attention and safety. Local animal control was called, and soon after, PAWS New England's local partner stepped in to help. The two boys were taken into a loving foster home, where they began to recover from their rough start in life.
Andy is thriving in his local foster home. He already knows to go to the back door to go potty outside and has mastered a few basic commands.
While he's still perfecting leash walking, his natural curiosity and intelligence make him an excellent candidate for continued training.
His foster family is working with him to ensure he becomes the well-mannered dog he's meant to be.
This active, outdoors-loving boy would thrive in a home with someone who enjoys being physically active and can give him the attention and exercise he craves. Whether it's hiking, or just exploring the great outdoors,
Andy is the perfect companion for an adventurous lifestyle. If you're looking for a dog who's ready to learn and grow with the family, loves kids and just melts when given belly rubs. Andy might be your perfect match!
Check out this cute video of his playing with his foster sibling:

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?
