About Sandwich

Meet Sandwich, one of the beloved "sandwich kids," who came in with pals Salad and Egg. At around 10 months old and already tipping the scales at medium size, Sandwich is all heart and boundless energy. Untrained but eager, he thrives in the play yard, racing joyfully beside his brother Egg and flashing a constant grin. While he still has a great deal to learn, especially about leash walking and manners, he genuinely wants to impress and connect. Early manners like sitting have clicked quickly, which is a good sign for ongoing training. With other dogs, Sandwich shows no reactivity and could do well in a home with another playful canine friend. Since he’s still a rambunctious, busy pup, a fenced yard will definitely come in handy. He’s clever, willing, and ready for someone committed to guiding an adolescent dog into adulthood. If you're up for shaping a bright, athletic young dog with lots of promise, Sandwich could be the right fit. Bonus: born July 6, he is a fun-loving Cancer, said to be nurturing and loyal.
