About Sandy

My name is Sandy and I am super excited to not be stuck in an abandoned house in Flint with my babies anymore!!! I came from a situation with a lot of other dogs of different sizes and ages, so I can get along good with others well. I really like my foster mom and dad and sister - they treat me so well, and make me feel safe. I like people, and get a long with other dogs, and I'm housebroken and crate trained. I play fetch, and I love my toys and my food. I know a few basic commands, and I answer to my name. My puppiesxarecall weened and will be ready for adoption soon too. I will be ready to go to my new furever home after March 13th when my vetting is all done.

Adopting a Pit Bull means giving a deserving dog a second chance - they're one of the most common breeds in shelters. You'll be rewarded with a devoted, playful companion who lives to make you happy. Their resilience, intelligence, and capacity for love make them truly extraordinary dogs.
