Indiana-PAW Pet Of The Week Sponsored By
Sandy - ADOPTED!
Background: Hi, my name is Sandy. I am about 8 years old and very sweet and laid back. My foster mom says I am very much a lady. I don't get on the furniture, I don't get in the trash or counter surf. I walk very well on a leash and I love to go for rides with mom. I don't like other dogs to be around me when I am eating but other wise other dogs are ok. I love kids. I am very quiet and very content to lay at your feet for hours while you do your thing. I am also used to being in my crate while foster mom and dad are at work all day, just give me a cookie and I go in and lay down. Foster mom says I am the perfect dog. I do like to play a little but would rather get a belly rub and my ears scratched. If you like quiet and laid back then I am the girl for you. I am fostered near Huntington, Indiana.
