My story

Hi there! I`m Sandy, and I recently went on an adventure with a very nice volunteer. We took a walk in the park, and let me tell you, I was excited! I always go outside to do my business, so I had no trouble finding a spot during our adventure. I met a few new people along the way, and I was definitely excited about it. I can get pretty exuberant when I meet new faces—I might pull on the leash, bark, whine, or jump around a bit. When I met some kids, though, I was much softer and wiggly. I loved getting attention from them and wagging my tail. I’m great with kids, and I really enjoy when they pet me.I also met some other dogs, but I’m not too interested in playing with them. I mostly ignored one of the dogs we encountered, and sometimes I do get a bit aroused and hyperactive when I see other dogs on a leash. If I’m close to another dog, I might growl a little, but it’s not always the case. I can be a bit unpredictable in that way, but I’m learning to be more calm around them.I`m a medium-energy guy, so I’d be happy with a nice walk or a run—anything to help burn off some of my energy! On our adventure, I didn`t go potty much, but I did stop a lot to pee. I did great when we visited a local outdoor patio, too! I was calm and relaxed, just laying on the ground, and I even got some attention from a family with little kids nearby. I love when people stop to talk to me!A little about me—you should know that I *love* car rides, especially with the windows down! I also really enjoy tug-of-war, although fetch is not my thing. I might be a little unpredictable when it comes to my back feet, though. The groomer tried to trim my nails, but I wasn`t having it and tried to lunge at her. So, yeah, we didn`t go back for the nails after that.But overall, I’m a sweet boy who loves attention and affection! I’m great with people, love my walks, and I’d be so happy to have a family who understands my quirky side. If you`re up for a snuggle or a tug-of-war session, I’m your guy!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Sandy, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
