Meet Phantom, an approximately five-month-old pup who brings a big personality and an even bigger heart to every room he enters. A sweet, affectionate, and slightly goofy companion, Phantom is often described as a "velcro dog" who loves to stick close to his people and soak up all the cuddles he can get. Despite his playful antics, he remains a perfect gentleman who is generally calm and relaxed inside the home. When it comes to playtime, Phantom is a high-energy athlete who takes his fun very seriously. He thrives in the company of other dogs—regardless of their size—and loves games of tug-of-war, fetch, and chasing toys with squeakers. His favorite hobby is exploring his surroundings, though his new family should keep an eye on the bathroom; Phantom has been known to "decorate" the house with toilet paper if left to his own curious devices. Phantom is already making great progress with his manners and training. He is mostly house-trained, walks nicely on a leash, and is comfortable settling into his crate when his foster family is away. He is highly motivated by chicken jerky treats and may occasionally show some protectiveness around food, because of this, he has learned to head straight to his kennel for dinner to ensure everyone stays happy and safe. With his friendly nature toward new people and other dogs, Phantom would make a wonderful addition to almost any active home. 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.
