Story
Name: Xuegao Gender: Male Date of Birth: August 16, 2019 Breed: Maltese Neutered: No Xuegao is an adult Maltese who has been with me since he was young. He is very bonded to his owner and does best in familiar, calm environments. With people he knows well, he can be affectionate and attached. Due to my current situation involving frequent travel between locations, unstable work circumstances, and financial hardship, I am no longer able to provide the consistent environment or ongoing care (including boarding and management costs) that he needs. Because of this, I am seeking a stable and experienced home that would be a better long-term fit for him. Xuegao can be reactive and anxious around strangers or in unfamiliar environments. When stressed or startled, he may bark excessively and show defensive behavior. For this reason, he would be best suited for: • An experienced dog owner • A quiet, stable household • No young children • Someone patient and willing to give him

Story
Scrunchie's foster mom says she's inquisitive, curious, and quiet.  Her favorite things are looking out the window, laying in the sunny spots, snuggling up to her humans, and meeting new people.   Check back for updates on Scrunchie as she settles in.     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.   ##2636769##
