About Andy

Andy is a lovely 2-year-old sable Sheltie weighing about 13 pounds, radiating a big personality alongside her big heart. If companionship is what you seek, Andy could be your ideal match. This sweetheart thrives on human interaction. She loves to curl up in laps, follow her person from room to room, or accompany them on car rides. Andy forms strong bonds with her family and prefers to be included in all activities. If she can't spot her humans, expect an adorable Sheltie howl to find them. Squeaky toys are her passion; tiny squeaky balls make her light up with joy. She possesses an energetic play style that never fails to bring a smile. Andy is housebroken and walks well on a leash, though she can pull when excited. She is undergoing basic obedience training and is making good progress using rewards and play. Her barking instincts are strong, reflecting her Sheltie nature, especially when she's overseeing her neighborhood. While she can get vocal in the yard, she’s surprisingly quiet during walks. Rescued after a brief report of resource guarding, Andy has shown improvement and comfortably eats around other dogs in her foster home. Despite her rough play style, she would thrive best as the only dog or with a single tolerant canine companion. While Andy has not been tested with cats or young children, she is spayed, fully vaccinated, and in good health. She does have a congenital jaw deformity affecting her teeth alignment, but this doesn’t hinder her quality of life. She simply requires softened kibble and has little interest in hard toys or bones. Andy is searching for a family familiar with the needs of Shelties. She brings intelligence, affection, and a vocal personality, aiming to be part of every adventure. With patience and plenty of squeaky toys, Andy will offer unwavering loyalty and companionship. Think you are the one? Submit an application!
