About Sandy

Sandy is a vibrant 2-year-old Malinois mix who is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. After being rescued from a crowded shelter with limited time, she has spent over six months in search of a stable home. Sandy thrives in a calm environment and would do best with older children aged 15 and up, as she does not get along with cats. This medium-coated beauty is house trained and well-mannered in the car. She’s developing her leash skills and knows commands like sit, come, stay/wait, bed/place, and kennel. Sandy patiently waits on her bed in her kennel before going outside and is not prone to jumping or digging. Smart and healthy, she’s eager for a purpose and a caring friend who will nurture her training. Sandy enjoys interacting with other dogs when properly introduced. A fenced yard is essential for her safety. If you think you can offer Sandy the loving home she deserves, please reach out to discuss further. Let’s make it official—apply to adopt!
