Story
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.   ##2720013##

Story
Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VTGood with dogs: YesGood with cats: Unknown, likely yesGood with kids: Yes, dog savvy childrenCrate trained: YesHouse Trained: Yes Audie Murphy is a sweet, gentle, and submissive little guy. He craves positive attention and affection. He has a medium energy level with bursts of higher energy. His ideal home would be a patient one to allow him to learn to trust humans at his own pace.Audie enjoys being in a home with other happy dogs but slow intros with new dogs help him gain confidence. He loves stuffed squeaky toys, deer antlers and chews, and especially regular meals and a clean crate to call his safe space. Audie would be good with older, dog savvy kids since he can be shy at first and prefers a calmer environment. He has seen outdoor cats and showed no interest, so would likely coexist with a feline sibling.Audie is both crate and house trained and is used to being in his crate when home alone. He walks well on a leash in familiar surroundings, but might hang back in new places.Audie has come a long way since leaving shelter life behind him. He would love a new family to make him feel safe and he will give so much love in return! Could your family be the perfect match?Please Note: All dogs are posted on our website until they are officially adopted. This dog may have other interested adopters in line.

Story
Meet Oncie! This sweet girl is a fetch enthusiast and loves spending time with her people. In her previous home, Oncie was reported to be both house and crate trained. She is looking for a family excited to help her learn what is an appropriate chew toy and how to settle on her own. Oncie has successfully lived with other dogs, and could do well living with a well-matched dog friend that can give her time to warm up. A dog meet at the shelter can help determine compatibility. She has also previously lived with a cat, but her attempts to play could be overwhelming. She would likely do best with a confident dog-savvy cat with a thoughtful introduction process.

Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VTGood with dogs: YesGood with cats: Yes, dog savvy catsGood with kids: Unknown, likely yesCrate trained: Yes House trained: Working on it Faye is a peppy, affectionate girl with a zest for life and a whole lot of love to give. She is a medium energy gal who loves to play, bounce around, and make friends with absolutely everyone she meets. She would be a wonderful fit for an active, interactive family ready to match her enthusiastic, loving energy.Faye adores other dogs and is always ready to make a new friend, even if the feeling is not immediately mutual. She has met cats without any aggression and would likely do well with a dog-savvy cat who can set boundaries with her. She greets bigger and smaller humans alike with great enthusiasm, so she would do best with dog-savvy kids who can provide some structure around their interactions. Faye is a smart girl who enjoys enrichment toys, walks, and playing with her dog friends. She is fully crated throughout the day and overnight without issues, though she may voice her opinion briefly when first settling in. She is mostly house trained and does best when taken outside right after meals and with a consistent outdoor routine, and she is continuing to make great progress. She walks nicely on leash, joyful hops and all.This sweet, extroverted girl is ready to leap right into her forever family's heart. Could Faye be the one for you?Please Note: All dogs are posted on our website until they are officially adopted. This dog may have other interested adopters in line.
