Dandy

Meet Dandy! She is one of 4 babies we saved with no time left before they would be euthanized. They were simply out of time – and we made it just in time to save them from that fate. Dandy is now just about 7 months old. Best guess is a Shepherd/Collie mix - currently she is about 45lbs, we expect her to grow a bit more than that into a med-large adult. Dandy is a gorgeous girl - photos really just do not do her justice. She also happens to be sweet & smart with an engaging personality. She has a way of communicating with her humans with a mix of mumbing, "talking," a quiet woof and a play grumble. You hear it when she's happy, wants something or is just being playful. It's sure to make you smile! Dandy is a happy girl who loves time playing with her foster siblings and snuggling with them for naps. She also loves snuggles and cuddles from her humans, and she thinks that belly rubs are the best. And, let's not forget treats -- Dandy loves treats too, which makes training easy. Dandy is a class A student!! Dandy is crate & potty trained; however, as with any rescue dog (or any dog for that matter), she may need a refresher course for a few days once she is in her new environment. We continue to work with her on basic training; she is doing well as she is a quick learner & loves the reward. Of course, given her youth (and, again, as with any adolescent dog), Dandy's family will need to continue with her training. Dandy thrives with other dogs, and we feel she would do best with a balanced, confident canine housemate to follow their lead. We, therefore, we would prefer a home that has another canine companion. (Dandy has also been fostered in a home with a cat, and she did just fine.) Dandy is a sweet, beautiful girl with tons of love to give, and she is ready for a forever family of her own. If you are interested, please register with us and apply, as discussed below. Dandy is spayed, current on core vaccines, dewormed, current on flea/tick/heartworm preventative, & microchipped! ______________________________________________________________ **If you are interested, YOU NEED TO APPLY.
