About Sandy

What are you waiting for? Apply today! Say hello to Sandy! Also affectionately known as Pants, Pantalope, and even Pantasaurus, Sandy has charmed everyone in her foster home with her goofy and silly personality. She loves nothing more than zooming around the yard, leaping into the grass (sometimes pretending she's swimming), and showing off her potential as a canine soccer star—especially with giant tennis balls. Sandy walks beautifully on a leash and does well with other dogs in one-on-one play, though she prefers calm canine companions and can become overwhelmed in bigger groups or by overly excitable dogs. She would especially love a home with another easy-going dog to be her playmate. Sandy hasn’t met any cats yet, so her feelings about them remain a mystery. This sweet girl needs a securely fenced yard, as she can get spooked by busy environments, and would thrive with a patient family willing to go at her pace. Sandy’s ideal home offers a routine, a quiet setting without a lot of hustle and bustle, and either no children or older kids who can respect her boundaries. Although she can get nervous with too much commotion, Sandy adores cuddling and shines the most when she gets individual attention, especially outdoors. At around two years old, Sandy is an American Pit Bull Terrier mix with darling short legs and a medium build, weighing in at around 50 pounds. She is spayed, microchipped, dewormed, and up to date on all age-appropriate vaccines and preventative care. Sandy has celebrated both her birthdays and many holidays with her foster mom, but she continues to dream of a forever family to call her own. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
