Meet Andy: Your Dog’s New Best Friend (and Yours Too!) Andy is currently fostered in MA, but is available for out of state/out of area adoption to the most wonderful home! Transportation to his forever home can be coordinated. If joy came with four paws and a wagging tail, it would look a lot like Andy. Andy is a 2-year-old Retriever mix, currently weighing around the perfect weight of 50/55 lbs. Andy’s journey began in Texas, where he and his siblings were sadly abandoned. Thankfully, they were rescued and brought to safety, where Andy has since shown just how resilient and loving he truly is. With stability, kindness, and care, he has blossomed into the wonderful, affectionate dog he is today—and he’s more than ready for the next chapter with a family of his own. Andy is incredibly dog-friendly and absolutely thrives around other pups. Doggy daycare? Best day ever. Playgroups? Sign him up. He lights up when he’s with his canine friends, which is why his dream home would include another dog to pal around with. Having a built-in bestie would truly make his world complete. At home, Andy is a total gentleman. He’s house trained, crate trained, and has settled beautifully into his foster home. He’s respectful, adaptable, and has that wonderful “old soul in a young dog body” vibe. Initially he may be a little shy when meeting new people, but give him a moment and you’ll see his soft, affectionate personality shine through. Andy loves routine, companionship, and being part of the action—whether that’s daily walks, romping with dog friends, or curling up nearby while you relax. He walks nicely on leash, takes treats gently, and is eager to please. His ideal forever home would be a calm, loving environment where he can continue to blossom—especially one with another dog and people who appreciate a loyal, kindhearted companion. A yard is a bonus, but his biggest requirement is simple: love, consistency, and a canine buddy to share life with. Andy is the kind of dog who may not demand the spotlight—but once he’s yours, you’ll wonder how your life ever felt complete without him. +++++++ ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://petsave.formstack.com/forms/petsave_adoption_application +++++++ The Truth About Rescue: Every rescue pup is a work in progress — and that’s the beauty of it. None of them come wrapped in a bow, ready-made or mistake-free. They come with stories, quirks, and hearts that have seen a lot but still choose to trust again. Adoption isn’t about perfection; it’s about presence. Showing up for them, every day, until they know they’re finally home. That’s when you’ll see them bloom — soft and steady — into the very best version of themselves. And somewhere along the way, you’ll realize they were never the only one being rescued. +++++++ Once we have received your application, we will review and reach out to set-up an interview with one of our volunteers! If you have additional questions, please email us at SaintMuttsInquiries@gmail.com. Note: As with all of our rescues, we recommend homes with children 10 years and over to ensure the best fit for both the pets and families involved.
