Sandy Paws Rescue inc.

Sandy Paws Rescue inc. is a 100% volunteer run organization. We are primarily based on Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard. Unless noted, our dogs travel from the south to find homes. We are also a registered entity in Florida. The dogs available in Florida only will be noted in their profiles.
We do our best to respond to every inquiry, but this is not always possible. We appreciate your support of rescue work, and your continued patience with us.

Additional adoption info

COVID-19 UPDATE:
During this time we are processing all applications for puppies without the ability to do meet and greets. If chosen to adopt, you will come meet the puppy briefly with the intention to take the puppy home that day (unless of course you do not feel this puppy is the one). This is after we have communicated, spoken with your vet, your references and completed our virtual home tour. Adult dogs will still follow our protocol for adoptions, while adhering to social distancing protocols. We appreciate your patience with us during this time, and understand we are not able to respond to every single email, text and phone call. We promise we are doing our best for the animals in our care, and we appreciate your support of rescue work by wanting to adopt.
