Andy is a gentle soul with a tender heart, quietly waiting for someone to notice the sweetness behind his shy eyes. At six and a half years old, Andy has seen more upheaval than most dogs his age. After being adopted as a pup, he started finding confidence while in foster care, but losing his home last year set him back, and he's grown even more timid since. New sights and sounds can be overwhelming, and he tends to observe from the sidelines, hesitant but still hoping someone will help him feel safe. His bond with his best friend, Abby, is essential—she anchors him, giving him courage just by being close. It’s clear Andy wants to connect with people, and he leans on Abby for support as he encounters the world. He is house-trained, crate-trained, neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccinations. Familiar routines calm him, and he does best in places where patience and kindness come naturally. Andy needs a calm home that’s willing to go slow and celebrate his small successes. With gentle understanding and encouragement, he has the potential to regain his old confidence and become a loyal companion. He’ll thrive with people who love the shy ones and appreciate the quiet victories. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
