Story
Lauren is looking for a forever family who is ready for all things puppy! This girl is energetic, playful, curious, and sweet. She does well in her crate, is learning all about housebreaking, and leash walking is a work in progress.   If you have the time to devote to a puppy, Lauren could be your girl.   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.   ##2719953##

Story
At 4 months old, Franklin is exactly what a happy puppy should be: funny, curious, bouncy, and completely ready to explore the world. : : Doing great and already sleeps through the night. He still has occasional accidents, which is completely normal for a 4-month-old puppy learning the ropes. : Lives with multiple dogs of different ages and sizes and does wonderfully with all of them. He has a submissive play style and loves to learn from his foster pack. : A work in progress. He wants to chase them if they run, so he will need continued guidance and supervision in a home with felines. : He loves puzzle toys, Kongs, chew toys, and giving endless kisses. He isn’t overly vocal, though he might bark at the TV or a stranger from time to time. : Franklin is ready for a family that is fully prepared for the reality of raising a young puppy. He needs continued training, socialization, and consistency, but he is already showing signs of becoming an incredibly fun and affectionate lifelong companion.   This dog is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered.
