About Sandy

Sandy is a precious eight-month-old puppy seeking her forever family. This sweet girl weighs around 13-15 pounds and is believed to be a mix of Chihuahua and Retriever, with a hint of Miniature Pinscher in her looks. Sandy is energetic and playful, enjoying her squeaky ball and time with other dogs. She’s social and loves being with her people, though she can be a bit timid around strangers at first. Once she warms up, her delightful personality shines through. In her foster home, Sandy is well-behaved; she is housebroken with a schedule and prefers to sleep beside her foster mom at night. She gets along with dogs of all sizes and enjoys playing with her best friend, a female bully mix. Sandy requires another dog in her forever home and would thrive best with someone who is home more often. This lively little lady has been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, ensuring she’s ready for her new adventure. Let Sandy be the joy in your life!
