About Sandra
"Looking for a one and only? So Is Sandra!
Sandra is the definition of a big, lovable goofball. She’s the kind of dog who lights up a room just by trotting into it, tail wagging like she’s greeting her long‑lost best friend. At the shelter, she’s won over every single person she’s met with her sweet nature and her eagerness to connect. If you’re looking for a dog who genuinely loves human company, Sandra is your girl, she seeks out affection, leans in for cuddles, and thrives on being part of whatever her people are doing.
Out on walks, Sandra’s enthusiasm really shines. She’s a strong girl and can be quite powerful on the lead, especially if she spots a ball, her excitement takes over and she’s ready for action. She does have lovely moments of calm walking, but she’ll need a confident, capable handler who can guide her and help her continue learning good leash manners. The good news is she’s very food‑motivated, playful, and eager to engage, which makes training both fun and rewarding.
Sandra’s play style is full‑on joy. She’s intense with her toys, loves a good game, and throws herself wholeheartedly into having fun. Because she’s still working on her social skills with other dogs, she’ll need to be the only dog in the home. She’ll thrive in a household that understands big, strong breeds and can give her the structure, enrichment, and consistency she needs to feel secure and succeed.
This sweet girl is best suited to an adult‑only home or one with kids aged 16 and up. She’s not compatible with cats, but she has more than enough love to fill a home all on her own. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, goofy companion who will adore you endlessly, Sandra is ready to meet you and start her next chapter. Apply Now for the opportunity to meet this special girl. 🐾
