Lydia

Sweet, gentle, and quietly trying to do the right thing.At 4 months old, Lydia is the kind soul of the group, affectionate, calm, and just a little bit thoughtful about everything she does. She’s the puppy who wants to be close to you, give a few kisses, and then settle right in.She’s currently in local foster care working on:• potty training, still learning but making progress• crate training, does well and settles nicely• leash skills, improving with practice (she can be a little stubborn sometimes!)Lydia has a nice, balanced energy. She enjoys playtime and exploring, but she’s not over-the-top and doesn’t demand constant activity. She’s happy with a mix of movement and downtime.She’s been around kids and other animals and does very well, gentle, affectionate, and respectful. She’s also shown to be a bit more sensitive and aware than her sister, often choosing to be the “good one.”She may take a little time to adjust to new things, but once she feels comfortable, her sweet personality really shines.If you’re looking for a loving, steady companion with a soft side, Lydia is your girl.Don’t let her grow up in foster care. 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.
