ded shelter life for couch life, and let’s just say… she prefers the couch. This girl is , , . She loves: • Curling herself into your lap like she weighs 8 pounds • Following her person from room to room • Short, slow walks with excellent leash manners • Puzzle toys and anything involving food • Car rides, she naps the whole time Francine is potty trained and thriving in a routine. She adapts quickly to new environments and settles in fast. She walks beautifully unless she spots something she thinks might be food, because . She’s been very sweet with kids 5 to 10 years old. Babies who cry and drop snacks are a little too exciting for her, so a home without infants would be best. She has shown strong interest in cats and would not be a match for a feline home. She has lived around other dogs and has been neutral to friendly, but she makes it clear that . Francine does not love being left alone. She would thrive with someone who works from home, can bring her to work, or just genuinely wants a shadow with wrinkles. She is happiest when she is near her person. If you’ve ever said, “I just want a dog who wants to hang out with me,” this is your girl. She knows sit and come, is very food motivated, rarely vocal, and snores like a tiny grandpa. She’ll wedge herself into your arms, raise her paw for attention, and expect full eye contact while you tell her she’s perfect. : Apartment or house is fine. Regular walks. Strong leash handling. No cats. No babies. Lots of together time. Lots of snacks. Lots of snuggles. If you are ready for a built-in best friend with wrinkles, loyalty, and Olympic-level cuddling skills, . 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: .sandypawsrescue. 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: .sandypawsrescue. The FIRST step in adopting from Sandy Paws Rescue is to submit a completed adoption application.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
