Story
Meet Mighty Mouse!Mighty Mouse is another pup that's going to need a very special someone that understands how particular, bossy, and sassy chihuahuas can be. Mighty Mouse is about two years old, absolutely gorgeous (as you can see) and also very, very deaf. VERY deaf. This means he can't really hear himself bark so he tends to bark loudly and incessantly when he gets riled up so shared walls/apartment complexes may not be the best environment for this shouty little man. He's a little under 14lbs but what he lacks in size he makes up for with an attitude the size of Texas. He takes a bit to warm up to people but once he does, he definitely plays favorites. He does well with other dogs but not with cats. He's sweet with people (once he likes you) and loves going for walks. He also loves his treats/snacks and likes to bury them and then forget they exist. With the right amount of sweet talking, Mighty Mouse will be your best friend...but you need to be willing to GO SLOW with him. He isn't the kind of dog that you can just swoop down and scoop up right away because he can and will throw hands while screaming vulgarities (probably). If you've had a difficult dog in the past and are used to the attitude and the judgmental side eye, Mighty Mouse might be the guy for you. We're looking for an adult only home (older teenagers should be fine as well) that has the patience and the drive to put in the effort with him...because he is incredible once you melt that icy Fight Club exterior.

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.   ##2610443##

Story
Meet Bruce   Bruce is the definition of a sidekick — the kind of little guy who wants to be part of everything you do. He’s small, snuggly, and happiest when he’s tucked right up next to his person.   He’s crate trained, great in the house, and gets along well with both dogs and cats. He can get a little worked up if another dog’s behind a gate (barriers aren’t his favorite), so slow, thoughtful introductions are best. Once he knows you’re a friend, he’s all in.   The vet isn’t his favorite place — it’s stressful for him — but at home, Bruce is a sweetheart through and through. He’s affectionate, loyal, and just wants a calm, steady home where he can finally relax and be someone’s constant companion.   If you’ve been looking for a devoted little buddy who’ll follow you from room to room and make you feel like the most important person in the world, Bruce is ready to fill that spot. Apply to adopt. 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.

Story
Rosie is currently in Texas and available for preadoption ONLY at this time. He will be ready to go right into his forever home on January 26. Rosie   Rosie is the kind of dog who makes a house feel calmer just by being in it.   She’s an older girl who has zero interest in chaos and a strong preference for cozy blankets, quiet companionship, and being near her people. Rosie doesn’t ask for much. She wants a soft place to nap, a predictable routine, and someone who understands that older dogs are a gift, not a project.   In her foster home, Rosie is fully house trained, quiet, and easy to live with. She’s calm indoors, respectful of the home, and settles easily. She walks nicely on leash, rides well in the car, and doesn’t get worked up over much of anything. She lives with other dogs of all ages and sizes and does just fine, but she’s more of a “happy to coexist” kind of gal than a playful social butterfly. If there’s a couch available, that’s where you’ll find her.   Rosie is affectionate in a gentle, low-key way. She enjoys cuddles, likes being close, and shows her love quietly rather than demanding constant attention. She can be a little overwhelmed in new places at first, but with patience and calm guidance, she settles in beautifully. Baths are best kept relaxed and low stress, which honestly fits her whole personality anyway.   Her favorite activities include nap time, meal time, and burrowing into fluffy blankets like it’s her full-time job. She loves food, loves comfort, and loves her people.   Rosie would thrive in a calm, laid-back home with someone who appreciates an older dog and the steady, peaceful companionship they offer. She doesn’t need excitement. She needs someone who will choose her for exactly who she is.   If you’re looking for a quiet, sweet presence to share your space and your couch, Rosie is ready.   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.

Story
Poncho Local is currently in RI and looking for a 'furever' home! Poncho is a sweet and easygoing little guy who is nothing like the typical chihuahua. He is super chill, doesn't bark alot, and is wonderfully tolerant with respectful kids and FEMALE dogs his size. Poncho enjoys cuddling, likes to be held, and would love a home with a warm lap waiting for him. He does mark since he is still intact, but that should improve once he is neutered. **Due to clinic delays: this puppy will be available for adoption with the collection of an additional $100 spay/neuter voucher deposit, which will be refunded upon receipt of successful procedure at our partnering clinic. If you are interested in adopting this dog please complete the adoption application at www.rhodehomerescue.org/adoption-form to become a pre-approved adopter. If you were already approved through Rhode Home Rescue within the last 6 months, contact us today! Be sure to check our Facebook page "Rhode Home Rescue" for details on upcoming events and other announcements.
