Meet Steve
Nine pounds of pure happiness.
Steve is about two and a half years old and came to us as a shelter stray, but you’d never know it from the way he lights up around people and other dogs. He’s a cheerful, easygoing little guy who trots around like life is finally going his way.
We’re still getting to know him, but what’s already clear is that he loves his dog friends and slots right into a pack without any fuss. He’s playful, social, and has that sweet, grateful energy that makes you root for him immediately.
As we learn more about his quirks and routines, we’ll update his bio, but one thing’s certain already: Steve is a happy little companion who’s ready for someone to give him the good life he should’ve had all along.
This dog is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered. (Please note: Puppies under 3 months old may not be sterilized prior to adoption. If this is the case, your adoption coordinator will provide guidance on the process.)
To adopt or learn more about this dog, you must complete an adoption application, which can be found on our website: www.sandypawsrescue.com.
PLEASE READ:
• If a dog or puppy is listed, they are currently available for adoption. However, they may already be pending an adoption, and their profile may not yet reflect this.
• All information is accurate to the best of our knowledge as of the posting date.
• Unless explicitly stated, Sandy Paws Rescue does not guarantee the breed of any dog. Breeds listed are educated guesses made by shelter staff, volunteers, or veterinarians. Many of our dogs are mixed breeds, often with pit bull-type genetics, resulting in a wide variety of physical traits and temperaments.
Our dogs come from various situations, such as kill shelters, owner surrenders, or as strays. It is likely both parents were mixed breeds as well.
Sandy Paws Rescue does not have a public shelter in Massachusetts. Our dogs reside in private foster homes or boarding kennels in the South until adopted. Many dogs are spoken for prior to transport or release from state-mandated isolation.
For information on adoption fees, procedures, or FAQs, visit our website: www.sandypawsrescue.com.
The FIRST step in adopting from Sandy Paws Rescue is to submit a completed adoption application.
