My name is Ghost!

Meet Ghost — the young, happy, wicked-smart girl who’s been winning over everyone she meets.

Ghost is about a year and a half old and around 56 pounds, and she’s that perfect mix of goofy puppy energy and “wow, this dog is actually really easy to live with.” She’s fully house-trained, sleeps quietly in her crate, and has the kind of manners that make you forget she’s still young. Inside the house she’s curious, playful, and has learned the routine quickly. She’ll happily chew her toys, nap through the morning, and come alive in the evenings when it’s time to run, play, and be her fun little self.

She’s a blast with other dogs — the type who loves to wrestle, chase, get bowled over, and dish it back out. She’ll gently herd her dog friends by tugging their collars or tails, but she’s respectful, easy to redirect, and reads other dogs well. Cats? She tries to love them a little more than they’d like, but she’s polite and means well. She shares her food, lets the cat snack out of her bowl, and has zero guarding issues.

Ghost thrives around people. Adults, kids, houseguests — she welcomes everyone with an open heart. She’s affectionate, cuddly, and loves being close to her humans. She handled a three-day road trip like a total champ, from hotels to long drives, never making a peep. Car rides are her thing. Water too… she loves splashing and lounging but won’t try to launch herself into your pool.

She’s smart. Like very smart. She knows sit, down, come, and is working on stay. She wants to please and learns fast. High-energy in the best way — the kind of dog who keeps up on adventures but knows when to settle once the excitement is over.

Ghost would do great in an active home with other dogs or people who want a young dog they can bring into their life, not just their living room. She’s sweet, social, adaptable, and genuinely a joy to have around.

Her foster said it best: “She’s going to be an amazing addition to some lucky family.” And she really will be.

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.

The FIRST step in adopting from Sandy Paws Rescue is to submit a completed adoption application.
