Story
Meet Pretzel!  Pretzel is a young pup who is bursting with happiness, playful energy, and affection. This cheerful boy has not stopped smiling since arriving in his foster home and is always eager to be part of whatever his people are doing. Pretzel does wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and happily follows their lead. He has also been gentle and curious with cats and is doing great with his foster family’s two-year-old daughter. He can jump up when excited, so his family should be prepared to continue working on polite greetings. He loves long walks and walks nicely on leash without reacting to other dogs. After getting his exercise, he settles down for cuddles and is perfectly content curling up on a lap or beside his person. He also enjoys car rides, plush squeaky toys, back rubs, and following his people from room to room. Pretzel sleeps through the night in his crate and is working on potty training. This affectionate, adaptable boy would enjoy an active home that will include him in walks and adventures while leaving plenty of time for snuggling on the couch. He would likely enjoy having a playful canine companion, but his greatest priority is being close to his people and receiving plenty of love and attention. With his adorable underbite, constantly happy expression, and loving personality, Pretzel is the complete package for a family ready to welcome an enthusiastic little shadow into their lives.   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.   ##2834428##

Meet sweet, short, sassy, solid Mayo who is about 2 yrs old and 25lbs. This cute low rider is full of joy and ready to share it with your family! She raised her pups and is making up for lost time being one herself now in her foster home. This funny girl gravitates to ponds to swim in, loves a good roll and scratch in the grass and socializes with everyone from the cats to the XL dogs living with her. She is totally unaware of her size, loves to meet strangers, go for car rides and is always up for an adventure. She would love a home with other dogs but this girl would also love to be the only one, soaking up all the attention and being your sidekick! Mayo is house and crate trained, spayed, microchipped and fully vetted. If you would like to welcome this little cutie into your family please email bigyellowgoose018@gmail.com for an application.

🎉 Meet Al! The Ultimate Playmate! 🐾 Get ready to zoom! Al is a striking, 65 lb Bully mix boy (DOB: 09/04/24) who brings a massive dose of fun and snuggles everywhere he goes. 💖 All About the Love If you are looking for an affectionate dog, look no further! Al is an absolute love bug who is incredibly affectionate with everyone. Seriously, all people—including kids—are his best friends! He is neutered, fully current on all his medical needs (vaccines, heartworm, and flea prevention), and microchipped for life. He's also a smart cookie: he is crate trained, house broken and knows some basic commands already! 🤸 Ready, Set, GO! This handsome hunk is a firecracker! Al has high energy, so forget lazy afternoons—he MUST have vigorous daily exercise to burn off steam and be his happiest, most balanced self. He’s looking for an active family ready for adventures. Because of his need to run and play safely, a securely fenced yard is required. A quick word on little ones: While he adores children, his enthusiasm and size can sometimes be "too much" for the smallest kids; he could accidentally knock a tiny human over during playtime. A home with older, sturdy children would be the best fit! 🐈 Critter Connections He's been good with cats, but watch out—he's a bit of a goofball and tends to "harass" them (in a playful way, of course!). Tolerant felines are a must, or maybe just a cat-free zone. Al is ready to be your shadow, your running buddy, and your ultimate couch potato after a good long walk. Are you ready for his all-star energy? If interested in adopting one of our available pets, please fill out an application at https://www.dixiegirldogrescue.org/forms PLEASE MAKE NOTE- OUR DOGS ARE FOSTERED IN ALABAMA (UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED), OUR DOGS TRANSPORT TO THEIR NEW FAMILIES IN RHODE ISLAND AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN ADOPTED. Our rescue pets are fostered in Southern foster homes (unless otherwise stated) and are posted for adoption once they are completely vetted and ready to travel. Our pets are adoptable in Alabama and New England States. Our adoption fee includes transport fee, spay/neuter, current vaccinations, deworming, heart worm test for animals over 7 months old, all necessary vetting and an interstate health certificate. Once an application is received, our team is happy to answer all of your questions and send additional pictures and videos. Thank you for thinking rescue!

Story
Meet our newest little sausage, Bon Bon! This tiny little lovebug stole everyone’s heart the moment she walked through our doors! Weighing in at around 30 pounds, Bon Bon may be small in size, but she’s absolutely overflowing with love. This gal prefers affection over treats any day of the week. She is a youngster, no more than a year and a half old. Bon Bon is deaf, but that certainly doesn’t dampen her spirits one bit! She knows nothing else, so she has no idea she’s any different from the other pups. She’s simply living her best life, spreading sweetness wherever she goes. And trust us, this girl is every bit as sweet as her name! She’d love a family with children and enjoys the company of other dogs, too. A sweet, loving, kid-friendly pup who gets along with other dogs? We think it’s safe to say we’ve found ourselves a unicorn! Run, don’t walk, to meet this little lady! Between that adorable smile and her irresistible personality, Bon Bon is sure to steal your heart just like she stole ours. Who’s ready to give this little sausage the forever home she deserves? *If you can see me, I'm still available! We prefer initial adoption steps to be done via email, this way we can answer any time of day. We also prefer an application submitted before scheduling a visit, but it's not required, an email conversation is great! If you don't have access to email, no worries. Please call 401 680 7591. We differ from other shelters by offering a one-on-one experience between you, our staff and the animal or animals you've chosen to become a new family member! Please email pacadoptions@providenceri.gov or adoptions@friendsofpaccc.org
