They are couch potatos and enjoy snuggling and sun bathing. They do however enjoy their walks and are great on leash. We are hoping to find a family willing to adopt both girls together.  Gemma & Emma are traveling to us soon, and ready to go home the weekend of 5/17.  To apply to adopt, fill out an application at www.rescueallthedogs.org/adopt. Please note that RnR is a volunteer-based organization. While volunteers review applications as quickly as possible, it is helpful if you review the following information about our adoption process:LISTED BREED(S) & AGE: We are taking our best guess on age, breed, and size when fully grown, based on the dog's physical appearance and what we might have learned about one or both parents. We rarely know a dog's exact age or full breed mix of dogs, as our information is usually limited.RNR’s ADOPTION PROCESS: The first step in adopting or meeting one of our adoptable pups is to fill out an application at www.rescueallthedogs.org/adopt. Once we receive your application, one of our volunteers will contact you, review our adoption process, and answer any additional questions you may have. It is important to note that we do not go on a first-come-first-serve basis for adoptions but on the best fit for a family and, most importantly, the dog.MEETING ADOPTABLE DOGS: Meet and greets will not be scheduled until your adoption application is submitted and reviewed.APPLYING ONLINE: When completing an application, please do so from a computer (not a mobile device); make sure you answer ALL the questions in as much detail as possible and that you receive a confirmation email ##2051040##

Story

Meet Riley!Listen, we love Riley. We do. She's cute, she's fluffy, she's a real life muppet, she's sentient dryer lint with eyes, she's ADORABLE. She's a 10yo maltese mix that we THINK weighs around 12-15lbs but...it could just be floof. And anger.As much as we love Riley, she is the epitome of cranky old lady unless she likes you. She'll tell you off, she'll grumble, she'll give you dirty looks, she'll essentially make you feel guilty for doing something that you weren't even aware you did. She stomps her little feet and huffs impatiently and it's literally like having someone's sassy vovó following you around.If she DOES like you, though?She's in your lap, hopping all over you, making friends and giving you kisses. She's smart and curious and loves pets and walks like a dream on a leash. She's all cuddles and snuggles and sitting pretty and showing off like the good girl she CAN be...but mostly chooses NOT to be.We always say that we let the animals choose their adopters...with Riley, this will be so, painfully accurate that it's not even funny.She DOES, however, want to be your center of attention and can get a little possessive of treats and toys, so she needs to be the only animal in the home and we would prefer any children in the home be at least 12yo.

is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered. (puppies under the age of 6 months may not be sterilized prior to adoption, if this is the case your adoption coordinator will discuss the process with you)  To adopt or learn more about: , you must fill out an adoption application. To find the application, visit our website: WWW.SANDYPAWSRESCUE.COM ** PLEASE READ: If a dog/puppy 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. In some cases this dog may be pending an adoption already, and their profile has not been updated yet. Please note, SPR does not guarantee the breed of any dog or puppy unless stated otherwise. All breeds listed are educated best estimates by transferring shelter staff, our volunteers or our vets. The dog may have some genetic material of an American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull). The dogs are usually mixes of many breeds, making them the All American MUTT.  Our dogs are rescued from various situations (kill-shelters, owner surrenders, strays, etc). It is most likely that both their parents were strays and mixes of some sort. If you are interested in this dog, you MUST submit an application. Sandy Paws Rescue does not a have a public shelter in Mass, so there is no building you can visit without an appointment. Our dogs live in private foster homes or boarding kennels down south until adopted, or in some cases in our very small private kennel facility on Martha's Vineyard and foster care homes through out MV, Cape Cod and other parts of MA. A large majority of our dogs are adopted/spoken for prior to transport and release from state mandated isolation. To learn more about our rescue, adoption fees, and procedures, review the list of FAQ’s on our website at WWW.SANDYPAWSRESCUE.COM. **The FIRST step in adopting an animal from our rescue is to submit a completed adoption application. ##2043337##
