Sandy is a sweet pea: small and charming! Pulled from an urgent situation at a shelter, Sandy is now safe and sound in boarding, awaiting her ticket to a loving foster home or maybe even a forever family! Weighing in around 60 lbs, Sandy is a pocket pyrenees - perfect for anyone who loves the breed but appreciates a smaller package. She walks well on a leash, is good with cats and other dogs, but her favorite thing in the world is to receive attention and love from people. A confident, loving pup, Sandy's perfect home life might include a comfy bed, fun walks, and plenty of snuggle sessions with you on the couch! She'd do well having a canine or cat companion, and would be a good choice with kids as well, given her smaller stature and loving demeanor. She has had a heartbreaking start to life, but it's only up from here - could your family be the one to show her all that the good life has to offer? - Written by K.P.

NYS Registered Rescue # RR102
Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
We may consider fostering for some of our dogs who are in boarding. Please visit Fostering FAQfor an application and information about our fostering program.
