A Note from the Foster: Meet Andy, he is a 2 year old shepherd mix, with a little bit of goofy mixed in. He has a beautiful brindle coat and the sweetest face which he has no issue showing off to everyone. He loves people, he loves bully rub, he loves food, he loves life. He is just an all around happy guy.
If you were gone all day to work he will greet you with a smile and a tail (and butt) that will not quit. If you are gone for just a few hours he will meet you with a smile and a tail (and butt) that will not quit. And if you are gone for 5 seconds because you forgot your keys he will greet you with a smile and a tail (and butt) that will not quit. He does not care he is just happy to see you.
He has a low/moderate energy level. He loves to go for walks or hanging out outside with his people, but once back in the house he will settle right in and lay quietly just watching what is going on. As long as he can be by his people he is happy.
Andy is a pro when it comes to walking on a leash. He has a perfect heal, does not pull, at all, but walks right at your side on a loose leash. A true joy to go out on a little stroll with.
Andy is fully potty and create trained. He has had no accidents in the house. He sleeps all night in his crate and does not make a sound. Even in the morning he waits until someone gets up and then waits patently in his crate to be let out.
Andy gets along great with the resident easy going Dochshund but was a little intimidated and did not like the higher energy foster dog that is the same size as him. So being an only dog in the house would be just fine with him. He does not care at all about the resident cats, basically ignores them even when they come up to say hi.
Andy is an all around good boy, easy going, friendly with everyone he meets, just looking for a place, and people, he can call his own. If this is what you are looking for in your next best friend please come and meet Andy.
Adoption Fee: $500 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
