Story
Meet Sandy, a delightful 4-year-old chihuahua mix who’s ready to fill your life with warmth and joy! Weighing in at just 12 pounds, this little sweetheart has faced some challenges, but her spirit shines brighter than ever. Sandy once had a wonderful home filled with love, and although her journey has been a bit bumpy since then, she’s now found her happy place in a cozy foster home.
Sandy has a heart full of love and just wants to be close to her people. She adores going for walks and feels the wind in her fur during car rides. Playtime is her favorite—whether it’s fetching with her human pals or having fun with her doggy friends. A little caution is needed, though; if startled, she might get a tad nippy, so she’d prefer a home without cats and kids under 12.
This precious girl is also quite protective of her loved ones, taking her role as a little guard dog seriously. While she may greet new faces with a bit of sass, a gentle introduction along with some tasty treats will help her warm up. Like many small pups, she’s a bit nervous during thunder or fireworks, but a tiny dose of trazodone will help her feel safe and sound.
Sandy is quite the explorer! She’s clever and curious, so a securely fenced yard is essential for her adventurous spirit. And get ready for some giggles—watching her zoom around with her foster siblings will surely bring a smile to your face! With her food-driven motivation, Sandy quickly mastered the dog door in just 30 seconds, showing how eager she is to embrace her new environment.
At the end of the day, all Sandy truly wants is a forever home filled with love—a family of her own where she can give and receive affection. With her sweet nature and loving heart, Sandy is ready to be your perfect companion, bringing joy and snuggles to your life. Will you be the special family she’s been waiting for?
Sandy has been spayed, is current on vaccines, has tested negative for heartworm and is microchipped.
