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.   ##2720001##

Story
PLEASE NOTE: This dog is currently out of state but will be transported to Massachusetts shortly with no additional travel costs. Roughly 90% of our dogs are adopted prior to their transport up to MA and 10% are adopted locally.Meet Archie! Archie is approximately 4 years old and 11 lbs currently and he likely has some Maltese/Shih Tzu in his mix. Archie was surrendered after his person could no longer care for him. In his foster home, he is doing great with his house training, crate training and leash walking. He could join households with dog-savvy kids 10+, and other small, calm dogs. He has not been exposed to cats. He would not be a good fit for an apartment. Archie does have a chicken allergy and needs to be on prescription food and apoquel.His foster says, `Archie has been an only dog most of his life. He lived with an older person. He is an absolute joy. A Tiny Gentleman with a silly side. Perfect blend of snuggles and spunk. With his sweet and soulful eyes he can make every moment feel a little brighter. Archie is part fluff, a little Silly, and 100% irresistible. Life is always better with a little fluff and a lot of love.`He is available for adoption in N Dartmouth in May. Please fill out an application on our website at https://www.browndogcoalition.com/adoptable as a first step.-Dogs may not be given as gifts or surprises.-Please thoughtfully discuss with your entire household the physical, safety, financial and emotional responsibilities of a dog BEFORE applying to adopt.- More information about our adoption process, application and adoption fees can be found at browndogcoalition.com

Zsa Zsa **Currently Available for Adoption!** Good with Kids & Dogs! Meet Zsa Zsa! 10 yrs./16 lb./Female/Maltese Mix Name: Zsa Zsa Age: 10 years Weight: 16 lbs Breed: Maltese Mix Status: Gentle, devoted, and ready for a love that feels like home ​ About Me: Hello, I’m Zsa Zsa — a sweet, soulful little lady with so much love still to give. At 10 years young, I’ve left the busy, chaotic days behind and found my rhythm in the quiet, meaningful moments… the ones that matter most. I’m the kind of companion who doesn’t need much — just a soft place to rest, a gentle hand to pet me, and someone to love. I’ll happily curl up beside you, follow you from room to room, and be your calm, steady presence through it all. There’s something really special about a senior dog’s love — it’s soft, it’s loyal, and it’s deeply grateful. I may be in my golden years, but my heart is full and ready to belong to someone who sees just how much I still have to offer. ​ Best Qualities: • Gentle, calm, and incredibly loving • Devoted companion who bonds deeply • Low-key and easy to care for • Finds joy in the simple things • A comforting, peaceful presence ​ My Ideal Match: • A quiet, loving home • Someone who values companionship and connection • A cozy space with lots of soft spots to rest • A family ready to cherish a senior soul ​ Deal Breakers: • A loud or high-energy household • Being overlooked because of my age • A home without time for companionship ​ Fun Fact: My favorite place isn’t a bed or a blanket… it’s right next to you. 🤍🐾
