Story
Meet Atenea!
Atenea (pronounced “Athena”) is a 40-pound Malamute mix with a heart as big as her beautiful name. This sweet girl has overcome a difficult past but is now ready to embrace a bright future with her forever family.
Atenea was found in Mexico, tied up in terrible conditions alongside her son, who has since been adopted. Despite everything she’s endured, Atenea’s gentle and loving spirit shines through.
Atenea would take praise and affection over treats any day! She loves to snuggle her foster mom and her toys! Atenea enjoys going for walks, making her a wonderful companion for leisurely strolls.
Atenea is housebroken, crate trained, and is working on not pulling on leash. She is good with dogs and kids!
Atenea is in foster care on Martha’s Vineyard. Potential adopters must be willing to travel to the island if not currently residing there. No car required on the ferry!*
Before Atenea could start her new chapter, she bravely underwent heartworm treatment, and now she’s officially cleared and ready to go! This affectionate and resilient pup is ready to bring her warmth and sweetness to a home that will give her the love she truly deserves.

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.
