Eight puppies… and somehow each one is cuter than the last.
Their sweet mama, Mindy, showed up on her foster mom’s porch right before Christmas — and lucky for her, she chose the perfect house. This family had previously adopted from Paws New England and knew all too well how overwhelming the stray dog situation can be in the South (they moved from New England to Alabama about a year ago). They welcomed Mindy in without hesitation.
Shortly after, Mindy gave birth to eight beautiful puppies, and their humans have been completely enchanted ever since. These babies are growing like weeds and getting more playful by the day. Just like most puppies their age, they’re happy, curious, wiggly, and discovering the world one tumble at a time.
Mindy appears to be a Plott Hound mix, and while daddy (or daddies!) is a mystery, Mom has a gentle, loving nature and has been an incredible mother. The foster family has fallen in love and will be keeping Mindy as their own.
The puppies are expected to be ready to travel to New England in early March, after receiving two rounds of vaccines, microchips, and clean bills of health.
If you’re ready for a joyful spring filled with puppy kisses, zoomies, and a brand-new four-legged peeing-and-pooping machine (we make zero guarantees on housetraining at this age 😄), one of these little cuties might be your perfect match.
Apply today and get ready to fall in love!
Breed: Hound Age: 6 weeks as of 2/9/2025 Weight: Growing like weeds every day. (8-10 lbs as of 2/9) 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 adopter's responsibility. Heartworm: Too young (testing is done at 6 months of age) Housetrained: Not usually Microchipped: Yes
Location of dog currently: Alabama - traveling early March to New England
Puppy Adoption Fee: $600.00 (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 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 your benefit and your puppy's, so if you experience behavioral 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?

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.
