Story
Meet Augusta! A striking five-and-a-half-year-old American Pitbull Terrier/German Shepherd/Labrador Retriever mix currently in Indianapolis, IN, whose intelligence and devotion make her a loyal companion ready for a new best friend. Weighing 62 pounds, she is strong, sturdy, and full of energy. With her beautiful tricolor coat and deep brown eyes, Augusta is a head-turner with a happy, boundless personality! Augusta is a training graduate who has mastered several commands. She heels nicely on a leash alongside her person and is crate-trained, happily settling into her cozy retreat when asked. She thrives on consistency and enjoys focusing on her handler, making her an excellent partner for someone who can guide her using basic commands. Her love for people shines in her desire for snuggles and companionship. She is incredibly smart and can quickly pick up on cues, especially when treats are involved! She has made great strides in training and has the capacity to learn even more. When she was first found, Augusta was unsure of the world and often stepped into the role of protector, which sometimes made her defensive. In one instance, when she felt uncertain, she reacted by nipping a neighbor on the ankle. However, with time, structure, and trust, her behavior has transformed. She now responds beautifully to guidance and routine! Because of her sensitive nature, Augusta would do best with an attentive pet guardian who understands how to manage her interactions and provide ongoing structure. She thrives with an active lifestyle and would do well in a home where she can enjoy physical exercise and mental enrichment. She is best suited as the only pet in an adult-only home with a guardian who has experience handling high-energy dogs and is committed to maintaining her progress. With patience, use of commands, and a consistent routine, Augusta will transition easily into a home where she receives attention and love. If you’re looking for a devoted companion and are ready to invest in a rewarding journey with Augusta, contact adopt@joyfulpets.com to learn more!

Story
Meet Bailey! This young, energetic girl is like your favorite cup of coffee—warm, comforting, and guaranteed to make your day better. She’s friendly, loves sitting on people for cuddles, happily snacks on snow like it’s a seasonal treat, and is looking for a patient home that’s excited to take things slow and get to know her unique likes and dislikes. Bailey could potentially live with another dog, a dog-savvy cat, and/or kids.

Story
Meet Bam!Bam is just as ridiculous as his ears are and just as ridiculous as his name would suggest. But seriously, look at those ears. Like, what even are those? Bunny ears on a dog, that's what.Bam is a two year old pit bull mix. Mixed with what, we have no idea. Rabbit. Jackalope. Jerboa maybe. It's one of life's greatest mysteries. He weighs about 65lbs so he isn't ridiculously big but he is high energy so it can sometimes seem like he's 100lbs. He is the happiest, dopiest, friendliest guy and all of that energy seems to come from pure, unbridled joy and enthusiasm for, like, everything. He loves people and would spend his days sitting there and staring at you adoringly with that big goofy smile, without a single thought behind his eyes, if he could. He knows his basics (sit, come, stay...sorta, etc) and he isn't terrible on a leash but he doesn't quite realize how strong he is so he can be a bit of a heavy puller. Another thing about Bam is that he likes to hoard his toys like a dragon with gold. His favorites are tennis balls and plushies though rope toys are not exempt from being added to his hoard. He's more interested in hoarding them than he is with playing with them but he will bounce around with a tennis ball like a goober. He's also, like, super nosy. He has a major case of FOMO. He needs to know what's happening on the other side of a door at all times like he's personally responsible for feeding the local gossip mill.Bam loves other dogs but, again, he's high energy so he'll need someone that can match that ridiculousness. We would prefer to place him with a female dog because he does seem to favor them. We're looking for a home without cats because he would most likely be way too much dog for most cats. Kids 12+ because small kids are small and Bam is not small. Bam is both the unstoppable force and the immovable object.Because he is a "restricted breed", you must own your own home or live in a home owned by a family member.To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application. Once complete, you can email it to us at fpas1@foreverpaws.com or fax it to us at 508-677-9175.

Story
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. ##2644536##
