About SandyI

Sandyi is a medium-coated, sable German Shepherd mix who’s ready to be your one-and-only. She was born December 7, making her a Sagittarius—no wonder she’s got adventure in her soul and endless fetch energy. At five years old, Sandyi is house trained, spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Her adoption fee has already been sponsored, so what matters now is finding the right fit. This is a dog who needs to be the only animal in the household and she won’t share her space with cats or other dogs. Kids should be 8 or older, both for safety and because she thrives with respectful, sturdy playmates. Sandyi’s happiest with a big fenced yard (she needs at least a 6-foot secure fence—no underground or electric systems) where she can run, chase balls, swim, and go full speed. She’ll insist on being near you every chance she gets—true Velcro style—and melts after a session of fetch with a nap at your side. She knows her basics but could use a refresher from someone who likes an eager learner. Apartment life isn’t the best fit—she wants room to move and can’t be tied or left on a cable. Sandyi is loyal, goofy, and people-crazy, always ready with kisses for her circle. A dedicated, active adopter with yard space and no other pets will give her the home she’s waiting for. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
