About Sandy

Meet Sandy. Sandy is a 10-year-old Chihuahua weighing just 8 pounds, eager to find a loving family to cherish her for the rest of her days. After her previous owner’s marriage, Sandy and her companions were surrendered, but it was through no fault of their own. This little girl is ready for a second chance. Affectionate and friendly, Sandy enjoys people and gets along well with other small dogs. She loves daily walks, exploring her fenced yard, and playing with her favorite squeaky toys. House trained and a delightful housemate, she can be left loose when her foster parents are away. At night, she curls up in bed with her foster mom, especially loving to snuggle under a cozy blanket as the weather cools down. Sandy is searching for a home where she can enjoy life’s simple pleasures: playtime, nice walks, a warm bed, and the love of someone who wants a close companion. She is spayed, current on vaccinations, heartworm tested, and microchipped. Recently, she also had a dental cleaning. If you have room in your heart and home for an 8-pound cuddle buddy, Sandy would be thrilled to meet you! Sandy is at Fur Fun Rescue in Lisbon, IA. Adopters should be within a two-hour drive.
