Description:
Your adventure buddy is waiting! Meet Dixie – this handsome boy is still looking for his forever family. Could it be you? At ~11 months old and around 40lbs, Dixie is a loving and affectionate pup who will thrive with an active family and a solid routine! If you love the outdoors, Dixie is your guy! He loves to play fetch and is excellent at bringing the ball back and dropping it for the next round. This energetic boy has even discovered the joys of the beach! He's a social butterfly who loves people and playing with other dogs, and does well supervised with feline friends. Dixie is eager to learn and responds well to clear, consistent guidance and positive, treat-based training. He's already housebroken, walks nicely on a leash, and sleeps soundly in his crate at night. *Dixie is in foster care on Martha’s Vineyard. Potential adopters must be willing to travel to the island if not currently residing there. No car needed on the ferry!* 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. For information on adoption fees, procedures, or FAQs, visit our website: www.sandypawsrescue.com. The FIRST step in adopting from Sandy Paws Rescue is to submit a completed adoption application.
