Personality/Disposition:

This beautiful little lady came to the Mission from the great state of Utah, where she had been returned to the shelter and was facing euthanasia. Sandy’s first stop was at K9 Communication, where she spent two weeks brushing up on the basics and learning more about self control in private and public settings. She was a rockstar!

Sandy is strong and independent. She is the perfect size for all of life’s adventures: not too big, not too small. Though she has energy to burn, she is also content to binge watch Netflix. She is willing to deal with all of your other pets as long as they can give some personal space and don’t touch her food. Crate trained and house trained.

*Information is approximate and based on the information given to the rescue group involved.  Personality/disposition reports are based on one person or family’s experience.
