About Grandy
Grandy is a gorgeous, affectionate, active girl who, like most dogs with some staffy in them, is a real "people person" and loves nothing better than being with her human(s). She is eager to please and will make you feel very loved.
She likes lots of attention and cuddles, and will yodel "hurry up" if a requested pat is not delivered quickly enough, or if dinner is not provided in time. She needs a home where there is human presence for at least part of the day, and she is good with older children, with whom she loves to play. Grandy would prefer to be a mostly indoor dog if possible.
Grandy will need a quiet home with secure fencing as she can be nervy and afraid of loud noises, and may try to escape if left alone outside during a storm. She will also enjoy the company of another dog with a placid temperament if you are not going to be around most of the time. Grandy can be wary of big and excitable dogs she doesn't know but is quite good with other calm small dogs. She is currently living with a dog and has lived with a papillon before.
She walks happily on the lead, though she pulls a little, but not strongly, and sometimes jumps up to touch her humans when excited. Grandy enjoys play time and adores tennis balls and playing chasey. She is learning quickly about doggy manners. Grandy responds and comes to her name and sits/stays on command. She is very intelligent and will learn not to pull and jump with some consistent training.
Grandy will need some additional training as she can become quite focused on dogs walking past but not in an aggressive way. Perhaps more concerned.
Of course, she loves going for walks and will take all the exercise you can give her, but she is most happy with cuddles and home comforts shared with a human. Grandy is house-trained and uses a doggy door as needed.
If you are looking for a loyal, affectionate snuggle-bug, this sweet natured girl could be just the dog for you.

Adoption details
We are a community fostercare network, not a shelter, and our dogs and cats are cared for in private homes. Note that we are very careful where we rehome our dogs and cats and we have an intensive process. If you want a quick turnaround we are not the group for you. If you seem like a good match for the dog of your choice we will organise a telephone chat, a meet and greet and a property check. We offer a six-week full refund, free assistance for six weeks for any issues, and a lifetime takeback policy with a fifty percent refund of the adoption fee, and of course an invitation to our adopters’ Christmas party.
We care for our dogs and cats and we want you to as well. We know that genuine applicants have no trouble with this process and understand that if we refuse you a dog or cat, it is because you are not the best match for that pet.
Our commitment to the dogs and cats in our care is total and we treat each one as if we are passing on a family pet. This may not suit you so we point out that there are equally great dogs and cats available in pounds, shelters and with other rescue groups.

Commonly asked questions and their answers are provided when you email us. Unfortunately we usually will not have time to reply to enquiries in more detail and will give priority to completed applications over enquiries. Priority will also be given to typed applications which are easier for us to read and to copy relevant parts.
We look forward to receiving your application.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
