Story

Hello, our names are Carson (m), Bridger (m), and Colton (m). We are the cutest, sweetest, funniest, silliest babies you have ever met. We are like watching a three ring circus never knowing who is going to do what. But, the more you laugh, the sillier we are. We are not bonded siblings. We live with other rescue pups. Here at my foster mom's place, there are adult dogs, cats & kittens, a horse and a rooster. She has a creek running through the property which is good because we LOVE water. Our lives began in a rural community. The man who owned my parents was not responsible. So, here we are. But the bad part is, he could not hardly pay for food, vetting our three boys, or fixing our parents. He could not even give us flea/ tick prevention or heartworm prevention for our parents. The kind lady who was notified about us took us into her rescue. Today we are fed, full vetting is being done, flea/ tick prevention along with heartworm prevention is being given. I would like to have a family who is active, likes the water, goes for walks, hiking, camping, snuggling and car rides. Please request an application from alittlelonger2home@gmail.com. When you receive the application please fill out completely to include your three references email addresses. The references cannot be related to you. See you soon, I am waiting. Colton Male Not neutered Breed: Aussie/ Lab mix Age 15 weeks old (As of 05/19/2025) Weight: 18lbs Color: Yellow & white & Black Great with people, older children, dogs/ puppies, cats/ kittens, a horse, and a rooster Adoption donation $495

Story

Meet Powder & Frosty — Two Extraordinary Brothers Looking for Their Forever HomesPowder and Frosty are visually and hearing-impaired brothers who were surrendered to a shelter in Franklin TN. After spending several weeks waiting for help, Paws New England said yes immediately—and we’re so glad we did.These sweet boys are approximately 4 months old and currently around 25–30 lbs. Despite their disabilities, they are truly delightful puppies who actively seek out human affection and love being part of the action. Right now, they’re staying on a farm in Tennessee, where they’re working with a trainer and being carefully observed as they interact with other dogs. We’ll continue to share updates as we learn more about their personalities and progress.Because Powder and Frosty rely on touch, scent, and routine to navigate the world, they will be adopted into separate homes, each with a confident, happy, sighted/hearing canine companion to help guide them and build their confidence. This is essential for their success.What their ideal homes look like:A friendly, well-adjusted dog already in the homeA fenced yard is preferred so they can safely enjoy outdoor timeExperienced adopters (especially those familiar with special-needs dogs) may be considered for alternative setupsA patient, loving family committed to helping a special pup thriveWe are still getting to know Powder and Frosty, but what’s already clear is that they are incredibly loving little souls who deserve homes filled with compassion, structure, and joy.If you’re interested in learning more about one of these angels, we encourage you to apply. Sometimes the most special dogs come with extra needs—and even bigger hearts.Name: Powder LOCAL as of 2/27/26Breed: Australian ShepherdSex: MaleAge: 16 weeks (estimated as of 2/17/26)Weight: 30 lbs as of 2/12/2026Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: to young to testMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: YesGood with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: UnknownAdoption Fee: $550.00 (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently: Rhode Island - 2/27/2026IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England.

Story

Ivy is true to her breed and would a wonderful family dog. Ivy has lots of energy and an even bigger heart. Ivy loves to run, play, and—especially—enjoy her toys (the more, the better!). She does well with other dogs and would thrive in a home with a nice yard where she can stretch her legs and burn off her energy. Ivy is smart and learns quickly; she’s eager to please and already loves showing off tricks like giving her paw. When playtime is over, she’s all about cuddles and being close to her people. Ivy is affectionate, playful, and ready to be someone’s loyal best friend. 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.

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.

Story

Foster is currently in Texas and available for preadoption ONLY at this time. He will be ready to go to his forever home on February 23. Foster is a 1-year-old Mini Aussie with a big heart and an even bigger personality. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, and knows his basic commands—with an eager-to-learn attitude that makes training fun and rewarding. Foster absolutely loves other dogs and does great with pups of all ages and sizes with proper introductions. He’s happiest when he has a canine companion to play with and would thrive in a home with another dog. He walks well on a leash and enjoys getting out and about with his person. When it comes to people, Foster can be a little cautious at first, but once he bonds, he bonds deeply. He’s incredibly lovable, intelligent, and playful, and he tends to become very attached to his person. Because of this, he will do best with a confident, dog-savvy adopter who can provide clear boundaries, continued training, and guidance to help him feel secure and successful. Foster hasn’t met cats yet, so that’s still an unknown. If you’re looking for a loyal, smart, and affectionate companion—and you have the experience to help a sensitive, devoted dog shine—Foster could be your perfect match. 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.)
