About Andy

Andy is a three-year-old Cattle Dog mix with a sweet streak that makes him hard to resist. He warms up to just about anyone willing to offer a pat, but he especially adores kids and thrives in their company. Playtime is Andy’s favorite, especially with other dogs, though he tends to play on the rough side and can be a bit persistent when he gets going. He’s got a sensitive side, too, and loves affection as much as activity. Andy is a fan of water—he won’t miss a shot to leap right in if he sees it. After running around, he’s more than happy to settle in for some cuddles and downtime, showing his softer, cuddly nature. He’s still maturing and has plenty of good years ahead as he grows. Andy is in Melrose, FL, and with a February 25th birthday, he’s a Pisces—go figure he’s a water lover. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
