About Sandy

Sandy is a lively 3-year-old dog looking for his forever home. After spending nearly a year in a foster environment, he’s back at the shelter eager for the right match. This energetic pup thrives in active households and craves both physical activity and mental engagement. He is housebroken, has lived well with other dogs, and loves toys and playtime. Sandy has great walking manners and enjoys spending time with his people. While he shows friendliness towards dogs of similar size, Sandy has a high prey drive and should not be in a home with cats or small animals. He can become destructive if bored, so ensuring he has plenty of enrichment and structure is important. Due to an old fracture injury, he will need joint supplements to remain comfortable throughout his life. This sweet dog deserves a loving, patient family who can provide him with the training and care he needs. Ready to meet Sandy? Click apply to start the adoption process.
