My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Georgie



 



Ten pounds of sweetness. Big personality. Zero drama.



 



Georgie is an eight-year-old chi mix who just wants to be where his people are. He’s the kind of dog who follows you from room to room, settles near you while you work or watch TV, and is happiest when life is simple and you’re close by.



 



He’s friendly with everyone he meets and does great with other dogs. He’s not a fan of crates or being shut away, but he’s so well behaved in a home that he doesn’t need any of that anyway. Once he settles into a new routine, he appears to be reliably potty trained and easy to live with.



 



Georgie loves treats, eats well, and has that perfect companion-dog energy — affectionate, gentle, and grateful for any kindness shown his way.



 



If you’re looking for a soft little shadow who will adore you with his whole heart, Georgie’s your guy.



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.
