From Hyde's foster mom: "The only off button that Hyde has is when he's sleeping!! He is very feisty and seems to have endless energy. Like Torino, his foster brother, he struggles if held more than a few seconds - he is not a cuddly dog!! The only cuddles he gives is when he's finally falling asleep. He loves to play, run, wrestle - anything that is fun. He keeps up with Torino who is a bit older and bigger. He loves to play with his sister but wears her out eventually. He can make a game out of anything and is very adventurous. He figured out how to use the stairs before I even saw him try. During the recent thunderstorms I took all three outside on a covered patio and they had no fear. Hyde played and found the biggest mud puddle he could after the thunder stopped. He will play tug with one of the other puppies or entertain himself with his toys. He does well in his playpen. He rarely cries unless he is the last to be taken out of the playpen. He does not yet hold his potty overnight but has learned to use newspapers/potty pads instead of his blanket. He will use the potty when he goes outside so we're working on potty training. Regarding the blanket, he prefers to sleep on the blanket - I think he gets colder faster than his sister who has more hair. He likes everyone and seems to have no fears. He is a very confident dog. He does have a tendency to protect his food bowl and we're working on that. It's not bad, but worth being aware of especially as he gets bigger. He can on occasion play a bit too rough, but stops when I clap my hands. Hyde will do best in an active home with lots of time for playing.

** PLEASE READ: If a dog/puppy is listed, then s/he is currently available for adoption. Their information is correct to the best of our abilities and the information we have been given as of the day of posting. In some cases this dog may be pending an adoption already, and their profile has not been updated yet. Please note, SPR does not guarantee the breed of any dog or puppy unless stated otherwise. 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, or in some cases in our very small private kennel facility on Martha's Vineyard and foster care homes through out MV, Cape Cod and other parts of MA. A large majority of our dogs are adopted/spoken for prior to transport and release from state mandated isolation. To learn more about our rescue, adoption fees, and procedures, review the list of FAQ’s on our website at WWW.SANDYPAWSRESCUE.COM.
**The FIRST step in adopting an animal from our rescue is to submit a completed adoption application.
