Story

Meet Stewart – Your Built-In Best FriendIf you’ve ever wished you could skip the puppy chaos and jump straight to the loyal, well-mannered best friend stage — Stewart is your guy.At 8 years old, this handsome heeler mix is the perfect example of why older dogs are such hidden gems. He’s crate trained, house trained, and knows how to live in a home. No guesswork, no wild puppy antics — just a steady, devoted companion who’s ready to settle in and love his people.Weighing about 75 pounds, Stewart fully believes he is a lap dog (and will happily demonstrate this if invited). When he’s excited, his tail goes full helicopter mode and his entire body wags along with it. His joy is contagious.He’s also a great car rider and is happy to tag along for errands, road trips, or weekend adventures. Stewart enjoys being included and is content simply being near his person.True to his heeler roots, Stewart does have a strong prey drive. He’ll need a home without cats, chickens, or other small animals. A secure yard and a home that understands his instincts will help him thrive.What makes Stewart special is the confidence and heart that come with maturity. He knows who he is. He knows how to be a good boy. And he’s ready to offer steady companionship, loyal friendship, and plenty of full-body tail wags to the lucky family who gives him a forever home.If you’re looking for a dog who’s already the whole package, Stewart is waiting. 💛🐾Thank you for choosing SandiPaws Rescue.

Story

Life started out rough for sweet Matilda. As a tiny 6-pound puppy, she was alone and scared in a very big world. After wandering up to a stranger’s house covered in fleas and mange, her life finally began to change for the better.Matilda is now about 10 months old and has blossomed into a funny, energetic, and entertaining young pup. She was briefly adopted but returned simply because her family wasn’t ready for her puppy energy and had no idea what a herding breed dog actually does. Now she’s looking for the right forever home that will love her for the playful girl she is.Matilda would do best with an active owner and would absolutely love a dog friend who enjoys playing as much as she does. She’s happiest when surrounded by toys, playtime, and people who enjoy her silly personality.True to her name, Matilda is a bit of a queen and can be slightly opinionated when meeting new people. She prefers to take a moment to observe before making the first move, but once she warms up, she’s affectionate, loyal, and full of love.She gets along well with other dogs and doesn’t mind cats at all. Sometimes she’d love to play with them, but she seems to understand when they’re not interested.Matilda is kennel trained and doing well learning her house manners. She’s a smart girl and a quick learner — she’s just had a lot of change in her short life and is still figuring things out.Because she can get excited and energetic, Matilda would do best in a home with older children who can handle her playful enthusiasm.Matilda is ready to find her forever people — a family who will enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of laughs with this charming, spirited girl.Could Matilda be the missing piece in your home? 💛Thank you for choosing SandiPaws Rescue.

Story

Meet Saul: The Pocket-Sized Shadow 🐾 Saul is a tiny gentleman with a massive heart, currently looking for a lap to call his own while being fostered in Holcombe, WI. This sweet boy is the definition of a "velcro dog" who will follow you everywhere like a loyal little shadow. When he isn't rocking his favorite hoodie, you can find him burrowed into a fluffy bed or, even better, tucked into your arms. Because of his pint-sized stature, Saul prefers to be carried so he can see the world from a safe vantage point. He is already crate trained and making great progress with house training when kept on a consistent schedule. Saul is a social butterfly who coexists peacefully with cats and other dogs. While he is kid-friendly, he requires a home with respectful children who understand how to handle such a small, delicate fellow. If you're looking for a loving, tiny snuggler to complete your family, Saul is your guy! Apply to adopt at tailsofhopewi.org.
