His favorite things include chew bones, snuggling with his people, and watching ants and other tiny critters explore the world.Because he's still building confidence, Pistachio is looking for a patient family that will continue exposing him to new experiences with kindness and encouragement. With consistency and love, this little guy continues to blossom every day.If you're looking for an affectionate shadow who will keep you smiling and happily claim your lap as his favorite place in the world, Pistachio is ready to meet you.

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.
