About Sandy

Sandy is a 10-year-old Chihuahua mix with an apricot beige coat, looking for a calm, understanding home. Timid by nature, she tends to keep to herself at first and thrives with patient people willing to let her open up at her own speed. Once she feels secure, Sandy relaxes and enjoys gentle attention—especially a scratch behind the ears or snuggling into a soft bed. Ongoing care is key for her comfort; she’ll need daily heart medications and joint supplements. Due to her small size and sensitivity, a quiet environment with adults or older kids (12+) is important. Sandy gets along with other dogs, but she does best in homes that respect her boundaries and pace. You’ll find this gentle soul in Shreveport, LA, ready for that rare adopter who values slow trust and quiet loyalty. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
