Story
Couch Crumb is a sweet girl ready for his forever family. She will be a bit timid with people but will show her extrovert nature with other puppies. However, as soon as she trusts her human, she'll be the cuddliest puppy you'll meet. Just like every puppy, Couch Crumb is still learning to potty and to walk on leash. She sleeps in her crate every night without any issues. Rescue story: Dust Bunny and his sister Couch Crumb were abandoned in an empty apartment. Their foster (who cleans homes) found them and decided to help them.  This dog is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed. (Please note: Puppies under 3 months old may not be sterilized prior to adoption. If this is the case, your adoption coordinator will provide guidance on the process.) To adopt or learn more about this dog, you must complete an adoption application, which can be found on our website: www.sandypawsrescue.com. PLEASE READ:  •    If a dog or puppy is listed, they are currently available for adoption. However, they may already be pending an adoption, and their profile may not yet reflect this.  •    All information is accurate to the best of our knowledge as of the posting date.    •    Unless explicitly stated, Sandy Paws Rescue does not guarantee the breed of any dog. Breeds listed are educated guesses made by shelter staff, volunteers, or veterinarians. Many of our dogs are mixed breeds, often with pit bull-type genetics, resulting in a wide variety of physical traits and temperaments. Our dogs come from various situations, such as kill shelters, owner surrenders, or as strays. It is likely both parents were mixed breeds as well. Sandy Paws Rescue does not have a public shelter in Massachusetts. Our dogs reside in private foster homes or boarding kennels in the South until adopted. Many dogs are spoken for prior to transport or release from state-mandated isolation. For information on adoption fees, procedures, or FAQs, visit our website: www.sandypawsrescue.com.

Story
Hercules lives up to his name — strong, loyal, and fiercely devoted to the one he loves most. This handsome pup forms deep bonds with his person and thrives in a calm, one-on-one environment where he can truly shine.Due to his protective nature, Hercules needs a home with a single adult owner who understands dog behavior and can provide firm, consistent guidance. He becomes very attached to his person and may act defensively around strangers or other animals. But once he trusts you, you’ll have a loving, loyal companion who’s always by your side.Hercules would do best in a quiet home without a lot of visitors or chaos. He’s smart, trainable, and eager to please — he just needs the right environment to feel safe and thrive. No apartments or condos
