Meet Sandy Grease *LOCAL*

To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application  HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see  HERE   Age: About 5 months (as of 7/2/2023) Weight: About 45 lbs. (as of 7/13/2023) Location: RI This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.   This Grease litter may only represent two of the gang from the movie, but they are guaranteed to make your summer nights (and days) full of fun. Sandy is a blonde, tri-colored female, as pretty as her movie namesake. These lab mixes are playful, even-tempered and affectionate. They get along with adults, kids, and other dogs. They have not been exposed to cats or small animals. They are curious when exposed to new places but settle quickly. They love romping with other dogs, wrestling, playing bitey-mouth and chase and enjoy squeaky and chew toys. They will need about 1 to 2 hours of activity daily and are happy to chill out at times. They are still pups, so house, crate, and leash training are in progress. They will benefit from training but are intelligent and should catch on like greased lightning. Taking time to train will keep them safe, teach them self-control and help to make them hopelessly devoted to you! Medical Note:  A littermate of this dog is being treated/has been treated for demodectic mange, a non-contagious skin condition. As there is thought to potentially be a genetic component to predisposition to this condition, this dog has been preventatively treated though does not currently show any bald patches and/or thin fur in places.  Please note that demodex can flare up in any dog in times of stress (e.g., transport, transition to a new home, change in food, etc.). As such, the adopter is advised to discuss this condition and best next steps with their veterinarian. SOS recommends that dogs with a history of demodectic mange be kept on regular NexGard or Bravecto for flea/tick prevention for at least 3 months after adoption for adults or until 18 months of age for puppies.  Please see here for more information on demodectic mange, and talk with your Adoption Counselor about this condition.  Please check with your vet if you have any questions or concerns about this medical history. An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see  HERE  for more information about this.

We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
