Story
🐾 Meet Beanie 🐾 Beanie is an adorable little dog with a big heart and an even bigger smile. She’s always happy to meet new people and greets everyone with a friendly, wiggly enthusiasm that’s impossible to resist. Beanie gets along well with other dogs and enjoys both playtime and companionship. She has a wonderful balance of playful energy and cuddly sweetness—one minute she’s having fun, the next she’s ready to curl up for snuggles and affection. Beanie is looking for a loving family to call her own, one that’s ready to welcome a sweet, happy pup who truly loves being around her people. If you’re searching for a small dog with a joyful personality and lots of love to give, Beanie could be the perfect match. 🩺 Important note: Beanie is scheduled to be spayed on Wednesday, 2/4, and will not be available at the shelter during open adoption hours that day.

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.   ##2636737##
