Story
Danner is a 2 year, 3 month old handsome red boy. This smiling boy weighs approximately 55 lbs and is the sweetest, gentle but playful boy you will meet. He has one of the saddest stories. This sweet boy was on death row. He was set for euthanasia in April of 2023, as a 3-month-old puppy. An amazing person pulled him from the euthanasia list, but with no rescue backing or help, they just wanted to make sure he wasn’t euthanized. a Danner has patiently waited over a year for his forever family. He has grown up in a home he didn’t know wasn’t his forever one. He gets along great with other dogs and doesn’t even mind cats, he does NOT have a high prey drive. Danner’s favorite activities involve laying around in the house, playing with toys and being free in the yard to sunbathe or just run around and stretch out. This awesome boy is a diamond in the ruff. He is so calm but entertaining, just wants to be in your arms and get lots of pets. He will be your most loyal companion, your shadow and your best friend. Danner will follow you around everywhere he can if allowed. He is not a leader, and would do fantastic with another dog in the home to be friends with or to learn how to be a true house dog. He is mostly crate and house trained. Danner would do great with a medium active household as he loves his walks, would do great on shorter runs (he has never been on a run, but he could get the hang of it!). He would thrive on going on adventures and exploring the outdoors. He is still a puppy at heart and does need proper training and stimulation to make him the best version of himself. Danner has waited over 2 years for his home, please help us help him find it. Adoption fee includes: Spay or neuter, current negative heart worm test, current parvo/distemper vaccines, bordatella (kennel cough), rabies vaccination, flea/tick and heart worm prevention, dewormer, microchip, and a health certificate from a vet giving him a clean bill of health PRIOR to adoption.

Story
Great dog just need a new home. He would really benefit from a single owner who can take him for long walks. Very loving but he has a habit of chasing our kids and knocking them over and this has been an issue so a house without young children would be better. He is not an aggressive or mean dog just has the natural instinct to want to run and catch things that are running. He really needs a person who will walk him daily and take him down trails and hikes.

Story
Bucee is a chill, confident, and happy boy in search of his forever home. He loves welcoming new people and with new dogs with joyful barks. As with most rescue dogs, he needs a bit of time to adjust in a new home. He is very popular with female dogs and neutered male dogs like him (intact male dogs become territorial with him). His energy levels range from medium to high but he is easily trainable and tends to remain calm inside the house. To release his energy, he needs a backyard where he can run and play with chewy toys. His foster mom crates him at night, and he usually sleeps there without any issues. Rescue story: Bucee was found abandoned in Houston. His foster family believes that he used to belong to someone and was dropped off in a popular dumping area a few days before he was rescued. This dog is up to date on vaccinations and is 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.

  adoption donation : $699 weight  34 lbs  Age 9 months as of 3/15          Everyone adores Cee Cee! She is just the sweetest, most gentle girl, she lives in a family with other dogs and small kids and is just a cuddly love bug with everyone! Ceci was found abandoned in a rural part of Mississippi last fall, her luck change when she was rescued by Wags. She’s been spayed and given her vaccines and is a healthy happy girl.   Recently Cee Cee moved over to a foster home, she was a little nervous at first but has settled in beautifully. She is very mellow and will make the most awesome family dog,    Cee Cee is still in Mississippi but ready to come up on our transport truck any Saturday. We’d love a home for her with a family that will cherish her and give her the love and attention she deserves.   She will be great in a home with other dogs and cats, fine if she’s the only one. Whatever the circumstances, Cee Cee will make a wonderful addition to the family.    Wags is a struggling 501(c) 3 where one woman in rural Mississippi takes care of about 150 homeless and stray dogs.  Adoption donations are the only source of funding for the rescue. Adoption fee includes the transport from Mississippi, vaccines, microchip and spay and neuter.
