My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Helen!



 



Helen is a resilient 8-10-year-old terrier mix who has overcome more than her fair share of hardships. Weighing in at just 8.5 pounds, this tiny senior girl has the heart of a fighter and the spirit of a puppy.



 



Helen’s story began in heartbreak—she was abandoned at a shelter in terrible condition and suffering from deadly pyometra. Thanks to the love and care she received after being rescued, Helen has made a remarkable recovery and is now ready to embark on the next chapter of her life.



 



Despite her age, Helen is still a lively, sprightly girl who loves to soak up attention and share her joyful energy. She’s proof that life can get better with a little love and care.



 



Stay tuned for more updates about this sweet survivor. One thing’s for sure: whoever opens their heart to Helen will be gaining a loyal and loving companion.

is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered. (puppies under the age of 6 months may not be sterilized prior to adoption, if this is the case your adoption coordinator will discuss the process with you).



To adopt or learn more about: , you must fill out an adoption application. To find the application, visit our website: WWW.SANDYPAWSRESCUE.COM ** 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, 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. 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.
