About Andi

Andi is a striking brindle pup about 6–7 months old, sporting sharp pointy ears and one blue eye, one brown—details that make her stand out in a crowd. At roughly 30 lbs now, she's on track to be a medium-to-large adult around 40–50 lbs. Her mix is a bit of a mystery, but she likely has some Border Collie and German Shepherd in her lineage, along with others. Andi found her way into care after being rescued near where another group of pups was picked up. It's clear she had a tough start, but settled into foster life quickly and is learning the ropes. Right now, Andi is still very much a puppy and taking on the basics: house training, walking on leash, and learning manners. She's alert and food motivated, which makes training stick. Once she feels safe, Andi enjoys attention and playtime, often staying close to the people she trusts. She needs a patient home—someone ready to keep building her confidence and willing to continue her training as she matures. An active household that will give her a routine, boundaries, and a daily outlet for both her energy and her sharp mind is ideal. She gets along with dogs, cats, and children, making her a good fit for most family set-ups. Her adoption fee is sponsored. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
