MIRTH - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / SHEPHERD / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Shepherd / Mixed. Found frolicking through the Whimsical Forest (okay, a backyard with too many pinecones), Mirth is a young pup with soulful eyes, comically oversized elf ears, and a lapdog heart trapped in a stick-fetcher’s body. He’s hilarious in the best way—the kind of pup who’ll sneak leaves inside like they’re priceless treasures and then nap like he’s run a marathon. Potty trained? Almost there—he heads right to the door when nature calls. Crate trained? Yep. Good with dogs? Absolutely. He’s played with dogs of all shapes and sizes and loves the company. Good with cats? Surprisingly gentle. Kid-friendly? Very. He’s been great with children ages 3–15. Leash skills? Solid. Favorite hobby? Curating pinecones and sticks like museum pieces. Bonus points if he can turn them into stick confetti indoors. Quick to settle in, Mirth is goofy, affectionate, and a total cuddlebug once he’s done zooming. His energy comes in bursts, followed by long, snuggly naps. He loves chew toys, comfort blankets, and carrying around plushies like prized possessions. If you’re looking for a playful yet gentle pup who bonds closely with people, he’s your guy. His ideal home? A family with kids and another dog, a yard for gathering “treasures,” and people who’ll laugh at his quirks and snuggle him at night. He’s got just the right amount of mischief, plenty of love, and the perfect nose for adventure. Apply before he gathers an entire pinecone army. 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.
