Story
Dakota is a gentle senior girl with wise eyes and a heart full of love. After years of giving her loyalty and companionship, she’s ready to spend her golden days in a calm, quiet home where she can truly relax and be cherished.She may be a little slower these days, but her tail still wags when she sees her favorite people. Dakota loves soft beds, sunny spots on the floor, and peaceful moments by your side. She’s not asking for much — just a cozy place to rest, kind hands to pet her, and someone who will let her soak up all the love she deserves.Dakota would thrive in a quiet home. Short strolls, gentle routines, and lots of cuddle time are her idea of perfect. She’s past the puppy chaos stage and simply wants companionship, comfort, and security.If you have a quiet home and a big heart, Dakota is ready to fill your days with warmth, gratitude, and the kind of steady love only a senior dog can give. Giving Dakota a place to spend her remaining days would mean the world to her — and she’ll spend every one of those days loving you right back.

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. ##2659452##

Story
My name is Theo, I’m a happy guy who lives for the simple things. If you have a fluffy toy, I will gladly show you my "surgical skills" by pulling all the stuffing out for you! I also think snowstorms are the best thing ever—there’s nothing like doing zoomies in a fresh drift. If it’s not snowing weather, you can usually find me swimming; I’m a total water dog at heart. And when the day is done? I am a professional-level snuggler. Recently, my Mommy had a human baby. I love my family so much, but having a tiny human around makes me anxious. I get way too excited, and because I’m a bouncy guy, I can be a little too rough without meaning to be. It’s been stressful for all of us, and my parents want me to be in a home where I can truly relax and be myself. This is the hardest decision my Mommy & Daddy have had to make so they would love to find a family that wouldn’t mind staying in touch once in a while. A photo or an update here or there would mean the world to them.

He’s a quick learner and already knows basic commands like sit, down, paw, come, leave it, and off. He’s continuing to work on his leash skills and will keep improving with practice and consistency.Pokey is an always-happy companion who loves being part of the action and then snuggliest boy after a chance to get some energy out. He’s ready for a home that will offer guidance, routine, and plenty of opportunities for fun.
