Story
Everyone who meets Cornbread describes him as the "sweetest boy ever." His foster mom says that he's a "goofball but without jumping" and that he would be great for anyone looking for a low-medium energy pup. Cornball may act a bit shy when meeting new males dogs but if the pack is friendly, he won't have any problems joining in after 10-15 minutes. He's quite the charming guy with female dogs. His best friend in his current foster home is Bianca (also an SPR pup up for adoption). His foster parents have affectionately called him "nosey" because he REALLY likes to be near the humans. He's crate-trained and will automatically go into his crate if the door is open. Cornbread is potty-trained but needs more leash-training. However, he's such a people-pleasing and gentle-natured dog that he will learn this skill fast with some dedicated time. His ideal home would be one where he feels safe indoors and where he can hang out with another confident dog. We think that in Cornbread's past life, he was owned and mostly lived outdoors since, when he first arrived to his foster home, he wouldn't go inside the house. His foster mom had to invite him in with treats and affection. Rescue Story: Cornbread was found roaming in a rural area in the outskirts of Houston by a kind lady who reached out to an SPR rescue volunteer for help. She couldn't keep Cornbread for long as she already was taking care of many dogs in her humble home. This dog is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered. He also travels really in the car. (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. Sandy Paws Rescue’s MA license number # 0272 ##2677911##

Story
THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY IN A FOSTER HOME WITHIN A REASONABLE DISTANCE OF OUR KENNEL IN WOBURN, MA. ONCE A POTENTIAL ADOPTER IS MATCHED WITH A DOG AND GOES THROUGH OUR REFERENCE AND INTERVIEW PROCESS WITH AN ADOPTION COORDINATOR THIS DOG WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO MEET BEFORE ADOPTION. IT IS OUR GOAL TO GET ALL LOCAL DOGS TO THEIR FOREVER FAMILIES WITHIN 7 DAYS ONCE MATCHED. **Please read Coco Rosie Spring's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!** Meet Coco, a cheerful, affectionate, and playful 1 1/2 year-old German Shepherd mix (about 40 lbs) who is ready to be someone's most loyal companion. She's the kind of dog who will worm her way into your personal space just to give you love. Once she's comfortable with you, she is an absolute delight. Coco's journey started in the mountains of Puerto Rico, where she was found as a stray before making her way to New England. She was adopted locally, but a home with young children and a lot of household activity turned out to be a bit overwhelming for her, and she's now in foster care looking for her perfect second chance. She thrives in calm, peaceful environments where she can truly settle in and be herself. Her crate is her safe space, and according to her foster mom, she's been sleeping in it every night and doing really well. Once she's comfortable, Coco is pure joy. She loves other dogs and would thrive with a canine companion by her side. In her first home, she made plenty of friends at doggy daycare and has always gotten along warmly with people too. Outside, she absolutely comes alive, especially in the snow, where she goes all-in on a good game of fetch. And after burning off that energy? She's a champion napper. This smart girl has completed two levels of obedience training and has mastered sit, stay, down, and come. Her recall in particular has blown her foster mom away - she comes when called reliably and eagerly. She's learning great leash manners using a harness and is house-training well. Everyday life with her is genuinely easy and rewarding. Her foster mom immediately connected with Coco and her sweet nature. She is always sneaking over to get close and soak up as much love as she can get. Coco is healthy, happy, and ready to bring so much sunshine into the right home. If you're looking for a loyal, gentle companion who will love you with her whole heart, Coco just might be your girl. All dogs are up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered at the time of adoption. All dogs require professional training to become the best family member they can be. To adopt or learn more about Tucker Loyal, you must fill out an adoption application. To find the application, copy and paste this URL into your browser: WWW.GDRNE.COM/ADOPTION-APPLICATION [Adoption Fee: $495] ** PLEASE READ: If a dog is listed, then s/he is currently available for adoption. Their information is correct to the best of our abilities and the information we have been given as of the day of posting. From time to time we receive new information/photos of a dog and we do recreate their listing, which means their old listing link will no longer be valid. If you are considering a dog but don't apply right away please make sure to search for the dog by name if the link you have no longer works. Please note, GDRNE does not guarantee the breed of any dog or puppy unless stated that we have run DNA. All breeds listed are educated estimates. Note that if the dog is listed as an "Out of town pet" there are NOT additional transport fees - it is included in our adoption fee Our dogs are rescued from various situations. It is most likely that both their parents were strays and even if not, mixes of some sort and that their grandparents were mixes as well. The dog may have some genetic material of an American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull). The dogs are usually mixes of many breeds, making them a breed all their own - a True and adorable American MUTT. If you are interested in this dog, you must submit an application. Great Dog is not a shelter so there is no building you can visit. Our dogs live in private foster homes until adopted.
