Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nurses back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.
Joannie is mostly housebroken and mostly crate trained, although she does need a special type of crate because she likes to chew on metal bars! She currently eats all meals in her crate as she has a tendency to be protective of her food.
Joannie is a stage 5 clinger in the best way possible! If snuggling were an Olympic sport, she would take home the gold. She lives for attention from every human she meets! Her favorite things include: all things water, chew toys and bones, playing with her doggy friends, and carefully inspecting the yard in her foster home.
She is fostered with dogs of all sizes and does great with everyone. She has not met any cats, but does have a pretty strong prey drive.
Joannie is an escape artist, and extra precautions will need to be taken in her furever home around doors and gates.
*Joannie is in foster care on Martha’s Vineyard. Her adopter must be willing to travel to the island if not currently residing there.

All breeds listed are educated best estimates by transferring shelter staff, our volunteers or our vets. The dog may have some genetic material of an American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull). The dogs are usually mixes of many breeds, making them the All American MUTT. Our dogs are rescued from various situations (kill-shelters, owner surrenders, strays, etc). It is most likely that both their parents were strays and mixes of some sort.
If you are interested in this dog, you MUST submit an application. Sandy Paws Rescue does not a have a public shelter in Mass, so there is no building you can visit without an appointment. Our dogs live in private foster homes or boarding kennels down south until adopted, and foster care homes through out MV, Cape Cod and other parts of MA. A majority of our dogs are adopted/spoken for prior to transport and release from state mandated isolation.
