Story
Sparky is appropriately named — he is an energetic little firecracker. Although on paper he is almost two years old, his heart and personality are all puppy. He is a very curious and happy dog, and meets every experience with excitement, joy, and the swishing of his fancy, feather duster of a tail. If he could text, he'd text in all-caps: "OMG THIS KIBBLE IS THE BEST THING I'VE EVER HAD!!!" He loves zooming around the backyard, playing with puzzle toys, and snuggling with his foster humans ("OMG, PETS AND BELLYRUBS ARE THE BEST!!"). In his foster home he is making very quick progress on house training, and he is also learning manners and boundaries. His perfect forever family will be commited to continuing with training and setting limits, rather than giving in to his many charms. His exuberance and mouthy puppiness are likely too much for small children.
Sparky's foster home does not have any other pets or kids, so we are learning whether he can be a good sibling in his forever home. So far we have found that he is very playful with other dogs, and likes to wrestle. He is so excited to meet every dog he sees, that he tends to bark if it isn't convenient for him to GO PLAY WITH THAT DOG RIGHT NOW. Still hasn't met any cats.
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.

The FIRST step in adopting from Sandy Paws Rescue is to submit a completed adoption application.
