Are you looking for a new pup to spice up your life? Look no further than this hot Tamale!

Tamale is a tiny Shih Tzu/Chihuahua mix with a big personality. He has been cohabitating with other pups, cats, and kids and he is playful and responsive to corrections with all. He is affectionate, outgoing, intelligent, even-tempered, gentle, and eager to please. Tamale has a wide range of hobbies, including playing with toys, playing fetch, going for walks or runs, going places, meeting new people, cuddling, and playing chase or tug-o-war with his pup friends.

Tamale is crate and leash trained, and his house training is in progress. He will need a patient adopter who will continue this training, and we strongly recommend that all of our puppies attend obedience training to learn commands, develop confidence, and socialize with other dogs.

Think Tamale would make a great addition to your family? Fill out an application to let him know!

An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see      HERE      for more information about this.

*  *Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.

As a first step in the adoption process, we ask that you fill out an online application.

Once we receive this, one of our Adoption Coordinators will be contacting you for review.  We are an all-volunteer organization.  We do try to respond to each inquiry within 48 hours.
