Story
Meet Puffin!Many of you have probably seen Puffin in the local news as a cruelty case out of New Bedford. His name was Ace. Since we're giving him a new start, we gave him a new name as well. A fresh start, a fresh slate, and here's to new beginnings for this guy!Puffin is about eight months old and is a small poodle mix at around 15lbs. He probably won't get much bigger but we can't guarantee that he'll stay under 20lbs. We also can't guarantee that he's hypoallergenic because we have no way of knowing what he's mixed with.Despite his past, Puffin is VERY MUCH a typical puppy. He's rambunctious and high-energy, still needs help with his leash manners, and is just discovering his voice and how to use it...and he uses it OFTEN. He would not be ideal for shared walls/apartment complexes or for people with a sedentary lifestyle because this guy is a three ring circus all on his own and NEEDS an outlet for that energy. He's also a poodle mix and poodles are wildly intelligent so he'll need that mental stimulation as well.You would think that Puffin would be afraid of people but nope. He's been nothing but a social butterfly here, ready and willing to make friends with anything and everything. This includes cats who want absolutely nothing to do with him whic he doesn't understand...so dog-savvy/dog-tolerant cats only, please. He's very excited to meet other dogs but tends to lose interest when that energy isn't reciprocated.While Puffin has been nothing but playful and gentle here, we are asking for older kids (10+) only. He has been through some brutal trauma and, while he hasn't shown any lasting effects of that here, there is ALWAYS the potential that something could trigger him. We're hoping that he's young enough that it will just be a bump in the road for him but we NEED to set him up for success.Please, PLEASE make sure that, if you apply for Puffin, you are a match for what he needs to thrive. We understand that his story will tug on a lot of heartstrings and a lot of people will want to adopt him but we cannot stress enough that he is a high-energy puppy with minimal training and he will need constant mental stimulation and exercise to keep him happy and healthy. He WILL NOT be a couch potato. This is a puppy that wants to be on the go.To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application. Once complete, you can email it to us at fpas1@foreverpaws.com.
