About this Dog
Meet Chad! Chad is the definition of a happy-go-lucky goofball. He’s young, high-energy, super loving, and still figuring out how to be a well-mannered house dog. He’s great in a crate, loves other dogs (big and small), and is working on his leash skills. He just needs someone who’s up for the ride. We’re not sure how a dog like Chad ended up in a shelter, but sadly, it happens every day. Even beautiful, sweet, energetic dogs like him get dumped when they’re no longer convenient. He deserves so much better—and we’re going to make sure he gets it. Chad’s not a couch potato. He’s looking for a home that can keep him busy—physically and mentally. He needs structure, playtime, and people who actually enjoy having a dog that wants to do stuff. If you’re more into strolls than hikes, or you like your house on the quiet side, Chad probably isn’t your match. He can live with cats, but only the kind that have been around dogs and aren’t afraid to set boundaries. He’s not mean—just young and enthusiastic—and does best when other animals are confident enough to put up a “not right now” sign. Chad is about a year old and weighs 24 pounds, so he’s on the smaller side, but don’t let that fool you—he comes with full-size Aussie energy. He’s a really good boy who just needs someone to keep up.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.

Adopt Chad and Receive Chad's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Chad's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Chad's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Chad, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Chad's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Chad was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Chad’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Chad’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Chad’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
