About Andrew

Andrew came into rescue with his sister, Amy, after a kind community member found them alone. At about 4 months old and weighing in at 20 lbs, he’s still discovering the world. Andrew hasn’t yet graduated to the main puppy pen, so he’s spending time getting used to the sights and sounds of shelter life. He is not yet house trained and will need some guidance in that area, as with most young pups. Andrew does get along with other dogs and would be happy to meet a new canine sibling. Staff and volunteers look forward to seeing his personality shine as he settles in. If you’re looking for a puppy with a fresh start who’s ready for a little training and a lot of affection, Andrew could be the one. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
