Description:
Meet Reese Reese is a 4-year-old sweetheart with a story that will tug at your heartstrings—and a personality that will fill it right back up. In June 2024, Reese was found in a rural area of Texas. He was battered, emaciated, and left to die, with severe head trauma and a positive heartworm diagnosis. At first glance, it seemed like Reese had given up on life. But this boy wasn’t ready to quit. Fast forward to today, and Reese has made the most incredible recovery. He’s officially heartworm-free as of December 2024, his body is strong, and his spirit shines brighter than ever. Reese is the kind of dog who just loves people—he’s happiest curled up next to you or soaking up all the snuggles you’re willing to give. He seems to know how lucky he is to have a second chance, and he shows it every day with his endless affection. Reese would fit right in with a laid-back family who enjoys a calm lifestyle and some daily walks. He gets along with other easygoing or submissive dogs, but he’d also be perfectly happy as the only pet in the house. And while he’s still working on crate training, he’s well on his way to becoming the perfect companion. If you’re looking for a dog who embodies resilience, gratitude, and love, Reese is your guy. Apply today to give him the happy ending he’s been waiting for! 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.
