Story
Shayla is a happy, energetic, and affectionate dog who brings enthusiasm to everything she does. Foster describes her as always ready for an adventure, whether that means exploring the yard, going for walks, playing with toys, or simply spending time with her people. Despite her energetic personality, she settles down quickly after activity and is able to relax comfortably in the home. She is fully house-trained, walks nicely on a leash, rides calmly in the car, and has shown no fears, sensitivities, resource guarding, or aggression. Shayla enjoys cuddling and being close to her people, often hopping into laps whenever someone sits down, making her both an active companion and a loving cuddle buddy.
Shayla currently lives successfully with both small and large dogs and appears to genuinely enjoy canine companionship. Her play style is soft, bouncy, toy-focused, and respectful, making her a fun but polite playmate. Foster notes that she may occasionally bark when crated if she hears people doing activities without her, but otherwise she adjusts well to crate time and long periods while her foster is at work. She is still learning commands but is eager to engage and continues to make progress. Described as "energetic, bouncy, and happy," Shayla would thrive in a variety of homes, from active families looking for a walking partner to first-time dog owners seeking a friendly, adaptable companion. Overall, she is a sweet, outgoing dog whose joyful personality and affectionate nature make her an excellent candidate for almost any home.

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.
