Story
Meet Genesis Genesis is a sweet, affectionate little 11-pound girl with an adorable poodle prance and a heart that belongs to her people. She loves nothing more than cuddling, belly rubs, cozy blankets, and spending time by your side. She's bright, attentive, and a quick learner who has already been working on commands like "sit," "come," and "wait."Genesis is fully house-trained and has had zero accidents in her foster home! When she needs to go outside, she has her own polite way of letting you know by looking at you and heading toward the door. She enjoys three or four walks a day but isn't a high-energy pup-after her outings, she's perfectly content to settle in for a nap or snuggle up with her person.New people and busy environments can make Genesis nervous at first. She may back away or get low when someone unfamiliar approaches, and loud, crowded places can feel overwhelming. Give her a little space and time, though, and she becomes much more comfortable. Her foster describes her as more nervous than fearful. A patient adopter who will continue introducing her to new people, dogs, and environments at her own pace will help her confidence continue to grow.One important thing to know about Genesis: this clever little girl can be an escape artist! Her adopter will need to be especially mindful around open doors, gates, and other potential escape routes and make sure she is safely secured when outside. Genesis is learning "wait" and has been doing very well practicing it when the front door opens and closes, but continued vigilance and training will be important while she settles into her new home. 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.
