Cody is the perfect pup for the Christmas season – he has these tall, elf-like ears, he loves to be around family and people, AND this will be his first holiday season as he is only 10 months old. We wish Santa Clause could find him the perfect home asap, but Santa is a little busy right now so we are spreading the word on sweet Cody!

The perfect forever home for Cody is one where people can hang out with him throughout the day! He wants to feel that company on a consistent basis, so if you have a remote job, are retired, or working as a parent at home, then Cody would be absolutely perfect as your lovely sidekick. Your days will be filled with high-energy play sessions, and relaxed couch cuddles, which is really the best of both worlds!

This isn’t to say that Cody cannot be by himself ever – he is just getting more comfortable in this world and needs a buddy while he grows from puppy to doggy. Cody is only just 10 months old! He is also excelling in his studies regarding crate training, housebreaking, and leash skills. He also seems to be getting along well with other dogs and kids! Cody is ready for the holiday season and is eager to fill your house up with even more love! 

If you feel like you could be the patient, and loving new owner that could take Cody in, then please:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: 

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.

Adoption Fees & Financial Information:

All dogs are fully vetted upon arrival for their current age. Our Adoption Donation per dog starts at $625.00. There are exceptions to this which are stated in the bio for the dog. All of our expenses for current fosters, vetting and transport costs on most of our dogs exceed $625. Copies of all vetting will be supplied to the adopter. Only under certain circumstances do we not have any background health information on dogs before they arrived in our care.

Our Adoption Donations are not negotiable. The donation is meant to help cover the vetting costs of all the dogs in our program. A 1 year old dog can come in and only need $150 worth of vetting and have an Adoption Donation of $625, but then a 8 year old dog can come in and need over $800 worth of vetting and have the same $625 Adoption Donation. We do not set the Adoption Donation according to their vetting costs. There is a required $50 deposit for puppies that have not been spayed or neutered prior to adoption due to their age. Dogs over the age of 9 months old all have the same $625 Adoption Donation. This helps us cover vetting for those babies that need more than others. Regardless of age, all our babies get whatever medical attention they need. We hope that you now understand why we cannot lower Adoption Donations because of age.
Our Fees as of 01/01/2024
​Puppies/Dogs : $625*
Benefactor Puppies under 12 months: $750-900*
Benefactor Dogs 12 months & up: $650-800
*if a puppy is intact, there is a $50 refundable deposit in addition to the fee.^

Dogs and puppies with benefactor or higher adoption fees are sometimes purebred dogs or other rescue dogs that are in high demand for one reason or another. They are typically quickly adopted, even with their higher fees. Their increased adoption fees allow them to act as benefactors to other dogs in our care that require special medical care and a better chance at adoption. Some dogs spend over a year in our care and require expensive surgeries, heartworm treatment and professional training. Benefactor dogs help support the care of the dogs most in need with Sandy Paws Rescue.

The adoption fee covers:
Age -appropriate core vaccines – $75-200
Flea/Tick prevention – $15-25
Heartworm prevention – $15-100
Spay/Neuter (if old enough) – $110-600
Microchip implant – $25-75
Microchip lifetime registration – $13
Boarding – $50-1000
​Transportation – $100-250
MA isolation – $150
Total Cost for SPR: $553-2,588
Costs to SPR not factored in above are treating the dog or puppy for any injury or illness prior to adoption that can cost us into the thousands.
