Story
is four small paws of personality. Named in honor of those lost aboard the Lily Jean out of Gloucester, she carries a strong name and an even bigger heart. She is affectionate to the core. If you sit down, she’s climbing into you. Not next to you. Into you. She wraps her paws over your arm while you pet her like she’s hugging you back. She follows you everywhere. She wants in on everything. She’s currently living with three other dogs of all sizes and keeps up just fine. She enjoys play, likes to be part of the action, and is learning her manners. She is not a low energy lap ornament. She has puppy energy. She likes walks. She likes interaction. She likes being busy. A more active, engaged household will be her best fit. She settles nicely in her crate at night and is almost fully house trained. Rainy days threw her off a bit, but routine helps. Above all, she just wants to be close to her people. She can be nervous in the car and with loud noises, so confidence building will help her continue to grow. And yes, that adorable coat requires regular grooming. This is not a low maintenance dog. If you want a tiny shadow who keeps your house feeling alive, is ready.   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. ##2659456##
