My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sandy is a super sweet girl about 3 years old. She loves to cuddle and be a total lapdog, but she also enjoys playing chase with her toys and going for walks. She could use a little help learning not to pull while on the leash. She also needs durable chew toys because she can destroy some squeakies. She is completely house-trained with a regular schedule for walks.

Sandy has shown anxiety around children, and while she has never bitten aggressively, she has nipped at young kids who were too high energy/unpredictable with their petting-- and ignoring her signs to give her space. This may be trainable, especially with older, calmer kids.

Sandy doesn't show any aggression toward other dogs or cats. With our cats, she will occasionally give a little bark and chase them for a few seconds, but she has never tried to bite or actually catch them. When out on walks, she tends to ignore other dogs. She's not a huge barker unless someone knocks on the door!
