My name is Sandy ** D17295!

Hi! I'm Sandy! I'm from Kansas.

From her foster: This sweet Southern girl is low energy, exceptionally smart, trainable, food motivated and snuggly-so snuggly. She's housebroken, non destructive, and leash trained. Sandy knows how to sit, go to her bed, wait to greet people at the door, and is working on the wait/stay command.

Sandy has total chill vibes. Calm, loves her naps, and would be a great binge-watching partner on the couch. Her favorite thing is to curl up on your lap, under a blanket, while you are reading, working, or watching TV. She’s a low energy dog who is happy with short walks, especially during the cold weather. Sandy hates the cold but she’ll go out if enticed with cheese or chicken. Mostly, she just wants to hang out and be around her people.

No roommate is perfect, and Sandy is working on her issues. Her biggest challenge is that she has shown resource guarding, especially around her special things, like food or blankets. If left alone in her bed with her items, there are no issues. If she thinks you are trying to take one of her things she has reacted. If Sandy leaves her bed and you take the item out, there are no issues.

For this reason Sandy would likely do best as the only dog in the home. Sandy has no prey drive and doesn’t care about cats, bunnies, or squirrels.

She had separation anxiety, and barks or whines when crated. This improved as she felt safer, but we are working on getting her more comfortable in her crate. Given her intelligence, she makes progress quickly with proper and consistent training. Sandy has already had 12 weeks of obedience training.

Even as she builds her trust, Sandy is still all heart. For someone who has the time to help her work through her challenges and who’s willing to give this sweet girl snuggles and affection, she will gratefully give you back love and affection tenfold.
