Story
DOB 6-11-2025 This gorgeous little boy named Natan is a sweetheart. He is a little shy, gets along with other little dogs, loves to play and is social. Natan is up to date on shots and a healthy boy! Natan's adoption fee is 900.00 and his transport fee is 165.00. Our transport is HEARTS LLC, they run every other week to their stops on the East Coast. They are the best transport and the only one we will use. The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.

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##

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. 🤍🐾
