Sander came to the shelter in Mississippi as a stray. He also tested positive for heartworm. So he was on the euthanasia list immediately. How could we let such an awesome dog who has so much love to give be put to sleep for no reason ? Fetching Hearts stepped up for him and brought him through his treatment and also got him ready to go.
Now that Sander is ready to go to his forever family, we are going to tell you a little bit about him. Sander absolutely adores all his human beings that he has met in the past and now going forward. He thinks he's a lap dog and will get in your lap to give you lots of hugs and snuggles. Sander is a dog who can be on his own or with a friend who likes to chill out like he does. Sander does play here and there, but most often he likes to chill out and be snuggled up. His favorite thing is toys. Sander will actually spread his toys over the yard so he can share with his humans or friends. Sander would enjoy going on walks or hikes and also even running around in the backyard while you're doing yard work. He does do fairly well on leash but will sometimes pull when he gets excited. When sander sees you for the first time after being at work, his whole body will wiggle and his tail will wag so hard. He gets super excited when he gets to see his people but he does calm down. This is why we feel he should go with older kids as well just because of his size.
Sander cannot wait to finally find his forever family! He has waited so long and now he is ready to go and explore the world with you. Apply for Sander today and you will get lots of love and kisses from him!! He will help you do the same for him.

More about this rescue
Fetching Hearts Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)(3), volunteer run rescue that is dedicated to saving dogs who have been abused, neglected or abandoned and finding loving, caring homes for them.
We rely on a network of foster families so that each dog that we pull into the safety of our rescue is placed in a foster home and is no longer confined to a life in a kennel.
We are committed to helping dogs of all ages, breeds and sizes by partnering with shelters and animal control services right here in Connecticut as well as with several high kill shelters in the South.
We do a full assessment of each dog's temperament and health to ensure that we are able to find the most suitable home for them. Every dog is fully vetted - meaning they are up to date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and micro chipped - before being adopted.
The ASPCA estimates that approximately 3.3 million dogs in the United States enter shelters each year, of which approximately 670,000 are euthanized*. Our goal is to advocate for and provide education about the need for spaying and neutering to eliminate what has become an epidemic of unwanted dogs.*
