My story

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

Meet Dixon! This sweet, snuggly little buddy is ready to melt your heart. Dixon is the ultimate companion—always happy to see his friends and eager to stick by your side as your loyal shadow. His joyful personality shines through with his adorable “woos” when you come home, making every reunion feel extra special.



 



Dixon is not only people-friendly but also great with other dogs, and he’s unbothered by cats, making him a versatile addition to almost any home. At 17 lbs, Dixon is the perfect size for snuggles on the couch or adventures by your side. While his exact age is unknown, he’s an adult who brings a perfect mix of energy and calm.



 



If you’re looking for a loving, social, and loyal companion, Dixon might just be your perfect match. 



 



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.
