Description

Melanie was rescued along with her 3 pups from a woman who found her living in a drainage ditch.  She is a young adult who loves to run and play. Melanie is great with people and gets along with other dogs with proper introduction. She's best friends with the other girl pups living in her foster home. Toys are top on her list and there can never be enough of them! Melanie is kennel and leash trained. She is a beautiful, big and strong girl. A high fence is necessary because this girl can jump! Melanie will make an excellent pet and companion. 
Ideal home: She would do great in a home with dogs of medium or large size because Melanie can get a little rough playing with other dogs. Melanie doesn't realize that she's a big girl.  
 

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.
