Profile

10/1/04 - Sandy is a 6 year old spayed Golden/Collie mix. She is very gentle with adults and children. She gives the sweetest gentle kisses. I have only heard her bark (just a couple barks not much at all) at my Amber - other than that I haven't heard a sound out of her. She is an owner surrender because the family felt that she needed to be with someone who could spend more time with her. I picked her up last night and brought her home. She rides well in the car - just laid down for the entire trip. She did have an accident right away but it could have been because it was a new house and she was nervous. There haven?t been anymore accidents since the first one.

Her previous owners told me that she likes other dogs - there was only 1 that she didn't get along with that they know of. I brought Amber along with me to pick Sandy up and their first introduction was a little rough but then we just walked around and let them get used to each other. We have had a few more little arguments but nothing serious. Sandy has been an only dog for 6 years so she needs to get used to having another fur-buddy around. I would suggest a home without cats. So far she has only chased and cornered my cat. I don?t know what she would do if given the chance.

Sandy is very sweet, mellow and she would be fine with children, as she has been around children of all ages. My son likes her a lot and she likes him. My son thinks it's so cool that she shakes, slaps five, and will give you ten....do dogs have ten to give?? Ok, she's great at giving 8. I will make a vet appointment for her today and send an update after I get to know her better. Fall time is upon us and if you're looking for a fur-buddy to keep you warm, you will want to meet Sandy. She will make a great companion and be your best friend.

Updates

Here is an update on Sandy. I guess even we foster moms can be wrong - I originally said no cats when trying to find a home for Ms. Sandy. Sandy now has a kitty friend named Paige and they look so sweet together. Sandy went to a great home with a family that loves her so much.

Hi Jennifer!

Just a little update on Sandy. She celebrated her 7th birthday in February and I made her a cake with ingredients for dogs. The one picture attached is that. I made the cake into 4 cupcakes and she got one right away. However, we have discovered that she will steal food off the counter if it's not covered well, and early the next morning I heard a plate rattle, and she stole the rest of her birthday cake!

The other picture is of her and our 7 month old kitty. Sandy does very well with her, and thinks it's her job to keep the kitty in line. She often will mouth the kitty around the neck but no harm is done and kitty doesn't know any better. She and I started "dog school" a little over a month ago, and she is doing very well! We have 2 more classes. She is very protective of me around other dogs though! We really wanted her to learn "come", and she is doing better with that. She still knows "roll over" and "shake". Her coat has grown in beautifully, and she doesn't shed much, but you always have wavy white hair on you!
