My story

Meet Pablo Available for Adoption | Currently in Massachusetts   Pablo is a big-hearted goofball with a face that says “What skylight dog? I was just checking on him.” After a rough start in life, he’s finally healing — physically and emotionally — and ready to find a home that won’t let him down.   This sweet boy is all about being close to his people. He’s a snuggly shadow who wants to be where you are, whether it’s curled up at your feet or trotting next to you on walks. (And speaking of walks — Pablo loves them. But he’ll need someone ready to work with his strong prey drive. Squirrels and bunnies, beware.)   He’s currently living with another dog and doing great — respectful, playful, and happy to share space. He isn’t a fan of the crate, though. He tolerated it briefly, but after a few days made it clear it’s just not for him. He’s been completely trustworthy left loose in the house, as long as tempting items are put away and certain doors are kept shut. At night, he sleeps calmly on a dog bed in the room with you — he might sneak over to say hi, but one gentle reminder sends him right back.   Pablo does have a unique gait — more of a bunny hop than a trot — due to orthopedic issues he arrived with. He recently underwent surgery and is recovering beautifully. He may always move a little differently, but it doesn’t slow him down or stop him from loving life.   Because of his past, Pablo needs a home without small children. He thrives with calm, confident leadership and would do best with someone who understands structure, empathy, and the value of second chances.   After everything he’s been through, Pablo still believes in people. And we believe in him.   Let’s make this time the right one.   is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered. (puppies under the age of 6 months may not be sterilized prior to adoption, if this is the case your adoption coordinator will discuss the process with you). To adopt or learn more about: , you must fill out an adoption application. To find the application, visit our website: WWW.SANDYPAWSRESCUE.COM ** PLEASE READ: If a dog/puppy is listed, then s/he is currently available for adoption. Their information is correct to the best of our abilities and the information we have been given as of the day of posting. In some cases this dog may be pending an adoption already, and their profile has not been updated yet. Please note, SPR does not guarantee the breed of any dog or puppy unless stated otherwise. All breeds listed are educated best estimates by transferring shelter staff, our volunteers or our vets. The dog may have some genetic material of an American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull). The dogs are usually mixes of many breeds, making them the All American MUTT. Our dogs are rescued from various situations (kill-shelters, owner surrenders, strays, etc). It is most likely that both their parents were strays and mixes of some sort. If you are interested in this dog, you MUST submit an application. Sandy Paws Rescue does not a have a public shelter in Mass, so there is no building you can visit without an appointment. Our dogs live in private foster homes or boarding kennels down south until adopted, and foster care homes through out MV, Cape Cod and other parts of MA. A majority of our dogs are adopted/spoken for prior to transport and release from state mandated isolation. To learn more about our rescue, adoption fees, and procedures, review the list of FAQ’s on our website at WWW.SANDYPAWSRESCUE.COM **The FIRST step in adopting an animal from our rescue is to submit a completed adoption application. ##1634916##

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Pablo, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
