My story

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

Meet Maska!



 



Maska is a 57-pound bundle of love and joy looking for his forever home! This handsome boy has a calm and friendly demeanor and is well-suited to many types of families.



 



Why You’ll Love Maska:



    •    Great with Kids: Maska has been around children of all ages and absolutely adores them.



    •    Dog-Friendly: He’s had positive experiences with other dogs, including a 4-year-old female Cocker Spaniel.



    •    Leash Manners: Maska walks well on a leash, making him a great companion for strolls around the neighborhood or longer adventures.



    •    Low Maintenance: While Maska loves attention, he’s also perfectly content spending time alone.



    •    House-Ready: Though he’s spent time outside, he transitions easily to being indoors and doesn’t need a crate.



 



Maska is not only well-behaved but also loves car rides, playing fetch, and running around. His ideal home would be with someone who can give him plenty of love, attention, and playtime. Maska is a smart and affectionate dog who thrives on human interaction and would make an excellent addition to any family.



 



If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle, and fun-loving companion, Maska might be the perfect match! Apply to adopt today and let this amazing dog bring joy to your home.



 



Maska is a vibrant and loving Australian Shepherd who’s ready to be your best buddy! He’s house-trained and gets along wonderfully with other dogs and kids, making him a perfect fit for a family environment. Whether it’s playing fetch in the yard or going on adventures in the car (which he absolutely loves), Maska’s enthusiasm is contagious. A true smarty, Maska loves a good challenge and enjoys learning new tricks and commands. He craves attention and thrives in a home where he can get plenty of playtime and affection. His joyful spirit and loving nature will make him an amazing companion for anyone looking for an energetic and loyal dog! If you’re looking for a fun-loving, intelligent, and affectionate Aussie, Maska is the one for you.



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, or in some cases in our very small private kennel facility on Martha's Vineyard and foster care homes through out MV, Cape Cod and other parts of MA. A large 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.
