About Andi

Andi is a lively companion who brings a burst of energy and excitement from the moment you meet her. She’s always ready for an adventure—whether it’s going for a walk or engaging in playful sessions. Her friendly and social demeanor makes her eager to greet everyone at the shelter. While she’s got a joyful spirit, she does need some guidance with her manners; she tends to jump and can be a little mouthy when she's excited. Once she calms down, her affectionate side shines through and she becomes incredibly sweet. Andi loves playing fetch with her squeaky toys and enjoys the company of other playful dogs, showing a silly but adaptable play style. Although she might be afraid of cats, she would thrive with an equally energetic dog buddy to play alongside her. While she is not yet house-trained, her enthusiasm for life makes her a fun addition to any household looking for a playful friend. Make Andi your new best friend and enjoy endless fun together!
