ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 17 lbs full grown now

ESTIMATED AGE: 3 years old approx

KNOWN WITH DOGS: Sandy does well with other dogs and will need another dog in the home. She LOVES to wrestle and play with her foster dog sister - loves it!

KNOWN WITH CATS: Sandy came from a home originally with a lot of cats and met several in her first foster home, so she is likely to do well with them.

KNOWN WITH KIDS: Sandy came from a home with young kids and did great. However, she has proven very shy with strangers so she might do best with kids 10 years and up.

KNOWN COMMANDS: She is learning "come" and "potty"

KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Sandy is good about housebreaking, but does not yet go to the bathroom on leash unless you give her a good amount of time. However, she is currently fostered in the city and would much prefer a quieter neighborhood. She is good about going at the dog park and will use a pee pad 100% if put down for urinating. She is 100% perfect in her crate all night and when left alone.

KNOWN LIKES: Playing, treats, napping, chewing, and romping in the sun. She LOVES to cuddle and will lay on top of you if you let her. Once she bonds she is a velcro dog and loves nothing more than to get pets and kisses and cuddles on the couch.

KNOWN DISLIKES: Sandy still gets spooked by loud noises outdoors - loud trucks, sirens and some strangers.

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Sandy gave birth to her two tiny pups, Nick and Nora, just before Christmas, but they are now weaned and Sandy is ready to find a family of her own. Sandy is nervous around new people, but once she gets to know you, she becomes a wiggly ball of love. She is a small girl who likes walks, tummy rubs, and the finest of chicken treats. While she will take a bit to warm up, it won't take too long and once she knows you she is a goofy, playful, cuddly girl who is great indoors. She would prefer a home with a yard or some fenced area as she has not yet mastered going to the bathroom on leash but we feel she may master this sooner in a quiet neighborhood so we will consider apartments if the neighborhood is quiet!
