Story
Meet Scrunchie.
Tiny. Petite. Fully out of the land shark phase.
Scrunchie is that perfect in-between girl. Not a wild puppy. Not a couch potato. Just a sweet little 11-pound best friend who wants to go on walks, run errands, and then lean into you like you personally invented love.
She was fully potty trained in Texas. The extreme cold up here has offended her deeply, so she sometimes waits until she’s back inside to handle business. Honestly relatable. Warmer weather will likely solve this tiny diva moment.
She’s dog friendly and has been exposed to other dogs. Curious at first, a little vocal, but interested and appropriate. She’s also cat friendly. She may want a proper introduction, but she’s shown no concerning behaviors.
She walks nicely on leash, rides great in the car, adapts quickly to new environments, and settles in fast. Independent enough to entertain herself with puzzle toys and self-moving balls, but affectionate enough to follow you from room to room, lean into your legs, and give kisses like it’s her part-time job.
She’s not a big barker and she’s not underfoot. She likes attention, but she’s not clingy in an overwhelming way.
Crate life? She’ll protest with some whining. She would definitely prefer to sleep in a soft bed near her person. Respectfully.
Her hobbies include:
• Finding hidden treats in cardboard rolls
• Hide and seek with blankets
• Puzzle toys
• Fetch
• Music appreciation
• Licking your face
Ideal home? Doting parents. Quiet environment. People who enjoy walks, engagement, and a dog who will both cuddle and do her own thing. A house with a small yard would be lovely, but mostly she wants companionship.
She learns quickly. She knows “come.” She adapts fast. She bonds even faster.
If you’ve been waiting for a small, past-the-puppy-stage girl who’s sweet, curious, affectionate, dog friendly, cat friendly, and ready to be someone’s Valentine…
Scrunchie is waiting.
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.
