About Mandy

Meet Mandy! A tennis ball, a walk, and someone to love—Mandy’s wish list is simple yet heartfelt. This charming Shepherd mix is about 7.5 to 8 months old, weighing around 30 to 35 lbs, and expected to grow to around 50 lbs. Mandy was found wandering and brought in by animal control. Since no one came to claim her, she has been waiting for a home since August. This energetic girl deserves to spend her puppyhood learning, playing, and being loved. Mandy is a fetch enthusiast! Throw her a tennis ball, and you’ll capture her attention instantly—she'll likely beg for another round. She’s excited about leash adventures, though she’s still mastering her skills. With daily exercise and a consistent routine, she’ll thrive in her new environment. Affectionate and gentle, Mandy seeks a family that enjoys outdoor activities and can help her grow. She loves other dogs and would benefit from a canine companion, but she can adapt to being an only dog with enough attention. Training will be essential as she adjusts to a home life. Her new family should be ready to work on basic commands, potty training, and leash handling. While she hasn’t been tested with cats yet, she could coexist with them given a slow introduction. As for kids, older, respectful ones will suit her best, especially those who can match her energy. Having a fenced yard is ideal for safe play, though apartments may work if regular exercise needs are met. Mandy is spayed, microchipped, and current on vaccinations. She’s located in Elgin, TX, and can be transported to her new family once adopted. Mandy is looking for a committed family that can guide her through the adventure of adolescence into adulthood. With love and patience, she’ll become a cherished companion. Let’s see Mandy embark on her new journey towards a loving home, where a tennis ball and happiness await!
