Story
Meet Whizzy!
Whizzy is an almost two-year-old Shih Tzu with a joyous personality and an enthusiasm for everything life has to offer. Whether he is exploring somewhere new, shopping with his foster, playing with toys, or cuddling with his people, Whizzy is happy to be included.
This little Whizz Kid came to us severely matted and had to be shaved down to remove the painful mats and treat his irritated skin. Now that he is comfortable, his happy personality is shining through. Whizzy also has only one eye, but it does not bother or slow him down at all.
He loves other dogs and is always excited to play, but he also reads their signals well. He enjoys regular walks, meeting new people, and experiencing new places. His leash manners are still a work in progress, and he will benefit from an adopter who will continue helping him practice.
Whizzy is nearly house trained and learning his foster home’s routine. He sleeps quietly through the night in a crate in his foster’s bedroom. He is also an excellent passenger who loves going for rides in the car.
This cheerful little guy has a medium-to-high energy level and enjoys playing fetch, chewing on toys, and relaxing with a comfortable blanket or bed. He seeks plenty of attention, follows his person around, and loves showing affection through cuddles and snuggles.
Whizzy could be happy with a single person or a larger family. His ideal home will give him plenty of love, companionship, new experiences, continued guidance, and consistent grooming to keep his coat healthy and comfortable.
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.

The FIRST step in adopting from Sandy Paws Rescue is to submit a completed adoption application.
