Meet Nolan

From Nolan's Texas foster: "Nolan has blossomed so much while with me. He has learned about playing with toys which he seemed to not have had previous exposure to. Now he has the zoomies all over the house throwing his toys around and catching them in the air. He is now cat friendly. Today him and the cat were both eating out of the same bowl! He is super smart. He learned how to open my back door to let himself in and out so a deadbolt is a must with him. He learned how to open my fridge because the cheese is in there, lol. He now knows sit, shake, and lay down and we almost had stay but ran out of time. It’s been so fun watching him play with my dogs and learning to be a family dog. I love how he matched the energy to the kids based on their ages. The 2 year old he is so gentle with and so calm but get the 15 year old is outside with him, he's running everywhere playing with them. He matches the energy of the other dogs depending on their size and play style. With a consistent schedule, he has had no accidents in the house. He is an amazing dog and is going to be a great family dog."is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered.

A large 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.
