Story
Meet Charlie — 36 pounds of snuggly chaos wrapped in a Beagle/Pug mystery blend, aged 3 years and fueled entirely by enthusiasm, feelings, and snacks. Charlie is a professional cuddler, elite blanket burrower, and part-time zoomie athlete. He operates on two settings:
 1️⃣ Full-throttle play mode — bouncing, leaping, and occasionally expressing himself with a little mouthy enthusiasm
 2️⃣ Marshmallow mode — melting into your lap, pressing his face into yours, and tunneling under the covers like a cozy little mole He adores his people. Like, nose-to-nose, please don’t stop petting me, ever level adoration. Affection is his love language, followed closely by treats (more on that in a second). ✨ Training glow-up alert:
Charlie is highly treat-motivated, and it’s paying off in a big way. With snacks on board, he’s been doing great walking near people and dogs and has been friendly when meeting strangers. Public outings have become much calmer when treats are involved. He’s currently working with trainers at Tayls in Trails in Watertown, MA, and showing real progress. Snacks = success. The fine print (aka, Charlie’s boundaries): ·       🐶 Other dogs? Hard no. ·       🐱 Cats? Also no. ·       👶 Kids? Not a match — we’re looking for an adult-only home. Charlie wants to be your one-and-only. He’s not here for a group project; he’s here for a solo starring role. He will make his opinions known around other animals, so a pet-free home is essential. The good news? ·       💩 House trained ✔️ ·       🛏️ Crate trained ✔️ ·       ❤️ Loyal, affectionate, hilarious ✔️ Charlie has a big personality and an even bigger heart. With structure, continued training, patience, and a steady supply of treats, he’s going to be someone’s absolute soulmate dog — the kind who sleeps under the covers, follows you everywhere, and loves you like it’s his full-time job. Adopt Charlie — because beneath the spice is a gooey, devoted marshmallow who just wants to snuggle his way into your life (and your bed). 🐾💛 If you are interested in finding out more about Charlie, please fill out an adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your browser: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BRO/Dog Charlie is being fostered in Boston, MA. The adoption fee is $500. Like Broken Tail Rescue on Facebook!. Follow Broken Tail Rescue on Instagram! Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label. We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.

Story
We think Meredith is a Puggle mixed with a Bassador. Basically… the recipe for maximum cuteness. ‍ This adorable girl has the thick little trunk, a snooshy wrinkly face, and the cutest stubby legs. She’s truly one of those dogs that makes everyone stop and say “oh my gosh she’s so cute.”   Meredith is crate trained and absolutely loves other dogs. She’s active, busy, and full of personality, so she’s looking for a home that can match her fun, boisterous energy. She would thrive with people who enjoy an active pup and maybe even another dog to play with. If you’re looking for a ridiculously cute, happy, upbeat and playful little companion, Meredith might be your girl. @1-3 yo//25 lbs crate trained and housebrokenactive and upbeat personality altered, vaccinated & microchipped  ready for furever 3/19 - pick up Amesbury MAApply today !!!  please remember we are all volunteers &  incomplete applications will not be processed Apply to FOSTER or ADOPT today & get approved to bring a dog home.

Story
  Dolce and Bear came to us from a Texas shelter after years of neglect that finally caught up with them. Their former owner was repeatedly required by the shelter to groom Bear. He was left outside all day, became severely matted, and was significantly overweight. Dolce, meanwhile, was known for constantly escaping the yard. Not because she was “bad,” but because she was anxious and trying to cope. When they were surrendered, they arrived with fleas and signs of flea dermatitis. Bear was immediately groomed, started on salmon-based food, and his skin has already improved noticeably. His weight is coming down, and he looks like a completely different dog than when he arrived. What hasn’t changed is their bond.  Dolce becomes extremely anxious if she is separated from Bear. He is her anchor. He is her safety. These two have clearly relied on each other to survive an environment that did not meet their needs. They are not puppies. They are not blank slates. They are adults who deserve stability, consistency, and a home that understands that love is not optional care. It is the bare minimum. We will only consider them together. That is non-negotiable. Dolce and Bear are safe now. They are healing. And for the first time, they are being properly cared for. If you are looking for a bonded pair and understand what it means to commit to two dogs who have already been through enough, this pair might be for you.    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.   ##2636816##

Story
POV: You thought you were adopting a dog… but you actually adopted a tiny, snorting, judgmental roommate. Hi, I’m Emma. I’m 17-ish pounds of pug, and I operate on my own schedule. I get excited for walks… …and then immediately need a nap. I follow you around… …but mostly so I can stand directly under your feet and trip you. I don’t bark much, but I do make a variety of snorts, grunts, and questionable noises that will become the soundtrack of your life. I like dogs. I like people. I especially like leaning on you like I pay rent here. Potty training? We’re working on it. Routine helps. So does patience. You’ll live. Crate? I tolerate it. Couch? I prefer it. Commands? Listen… I know my name. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I’m playful, affectionate, and built for companionship, not marathons. Think short walks, cozy naps, and me existing in your personal space at all times. Important: Pug experience is required. If you get it, you get it. If you don’t… you’re about to be confused.   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.

Story
🎉 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!

Introducing Onyx! Onyx is a 12 week old Bulldog mix and he is the perfect mix of handsome and huggable. He has a rich honey-colored coat, bright white stockings on his paws, and the most striking dark mask that frames his sweet little face. That narrow white stripe down his forehead and his inky black nose give him such a distinguished, almost serious look — until you see those soft puppy eyes up close and realize he’s just a baby with a playful heart. Onyx is eager to please and already shows how smart and attentive he is. He’s adventurous and confident, always ready to explore something new with his tail wagging. He approaches life with curiosity and bravery, but his soft, affectionate side is just as strong. He is so sweet and thrives on love and connection. He does wonderfully with kids, cats, and other dogs, making him a well-rounded addition to almost any family. Onyx is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to find a forever family who will love his big personality and even bigger heart. 🐾🖤
