Story
Sarah Jean is one of MANY dogs saved from an abusive hoarding/breeding situation. The owner died and the dogs were discovered after being locked in their cages for DAYS without food and water, covered in their own feces and urine, starving and dehydrated. Grooming and vetting is underway!!! Sarah Jean is very sweet and happy despite what she has been through. Would love to have a home with another dog. She is about 2 years old, 9 pounds. Coming to Massachusetts in a few weeks after vetting and spay is complete. Thank you for choosing rescue. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT US BY EMAIL OR PHONE TO TELL US YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SARAH JEAN. We are all volunteers and we cannot move forward without your application. If you would like to be considered to adopt her go to our website and fill out an application. www.sunnypawsrescue.org. Be sure you receive a confirmation email after submission and someone will be in touch promptly.

This dog is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered. (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.   The FIRST step in adopting from Sandy Paws Rescue is to submit a completed adoption application.   ##2300723##

Story
Meet Zoely! Zoely is a playful, happy-go-lucky pup and the sweetest little furball who’s ready to find her forever home! This sweet girl loves people and is great with other dogs. She’s also good with kids, though a home with children 6+ would be best since she gets very excited and bouncy. Zoe is always ready for an adventure, Whether it's a car ride or a walk. She LOVES chasing after a ball, leaping through the snow, and snuggles. She enjoys being brushed and pampered and you will enjoy the affection she gives you. Zoely sleeps in her crate all night and is doing great with potty training—she’s a smart cookie! She would be a wonderful addition to an active family and will require regular grooming every 6-8 weeks to prevent matting and keep her coat in great shape. Currently fostered on the North Shore of Massachusetts  This dog is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered.

Story
Meet Patricio! Patricio is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a heart full of love! He is a total lovebug who enjoys cuddles, affection, and playtime with his favorite toys.   Patricio is a very chill pup.  From day one he has had an easy transition into his foster home, walked in relaxed and despite the other pets in the home, he fit right in.  He does well on a leash.  So far he seems to be housebroken. Patricio will require regular grooming every 6-8 weeks to prevent matting and keep his coat in great condition. He does not seem to shed. Patricio is now in his foster home in Massachusetts! Apply today! This dog is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered. (Please note: Puppies under 3 months old may not be sterilized prior to adoption.
