About Sandy

Meet Sandy! This sweet 3 to 4-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix has a puppy-like spirit and a lot of energy. Sandy is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. She thrives on attention and affection, but her enthusiasm can lead to a bit of nipping when she's overstimulated. It's essential that her new family understands that with time and training, she can learn manners and boundaries. Sandy needs to be the only pet in the home, but she has previously been great with kids. An active household would suit her perfectly, as she needs plenty of exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation. Training will be beneficial to help her develop leash manners and other skills. Beneath all that energy is a loving girl looking for a family to help her grow and shine. Could Sandy be your new adventure buddy? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
