About Sandy

Sandy arrived at the shelter after being surrendered with her mom, Olivia, and her sister due to an accidental litter. With her sister now adopted, Sandy finds herself alone and uncertain. Though still quite young, she has had limited interactions with people, so she can be a bit shy around strangers. Fortunately, she has a big heart for dogs and seems to thrive around them, making her a perfect candidate for a home with a friendly, outgoing dog that can help her acclimate to a loving family environment. Sandy deserves to escape the shelter life. While she may take some time to warm up, the love and guidance of another dog will help her shine. If adoption isn't an option for you right now, please consider fostering her. She shows no signs of aggression, but we know the shelter can be a daunting place for such a young pup. Give Sandy a chance to grow in a home where she can feel safe and loved.
