About Mandy

Mandy and her sister were abandoned in an industrial park, surrounded by loud machines and hazards—not exactly the safest place for a couple of dogs. One ended up stuck in a pipe, but thanks to a quick-thinking employee, they both made it out alive. After a temporary stay with a Lucies foster, Mandy's still holding out for a home where she can finally settle in for good. She doesn't need to be adopted with her sister, though that would be a bonus. She's grateful to her foster, but it's clear Mandy wants a permanent family more than anything. Lucies requires a phone interview to ensure she goes somewhere safe and caring, so be ready for a chat if you're interested. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
