About Sandy Farquhar
Check out a video of our gorgeous Sandy:
Sandy is a lovely girl who is a reluctant surrender by her male person. She hasn’t spent time with many dogs and probably would be best to remain an only dog with people all to herself, although she may adapt well to a home with another quiet dog she has met a few times first.
She is very focused on her person and gets so attached she may take a week or so to settle to a new home. But we know she does adapt as she has had to do this before for a short term placement. Sandy just LOVES the ball. If you throw it for her she will bring it back to you all day. She loves her walks and will put her head in her Easy Walker harness to make it easier for you. When you come home she pushes her head between your legs so you can scratch her all over. And will follow you if she can and lie at your feet.
She has been with the one person since she was a puppy and is an inside/outside dog. She is a well trained and sociable dog who could perhaps have done with more dog interaction in her life but is not aggressive or reactive.
She doesn’t like being washed but will tolerate it.
Sandy has spent time with older children and generally loves people. She doesn’t have separation anxiety when you leave her but welcomes you back. She is not cat friendly and will chase them when she sees them.
Sandy is a resource guarder with her food and needs to be left alone when being fed.
Overall a friendly girl who will really attach herself to her person.
Please note: our dogs are not available for interstate adoption. We also do not adopt to people under the age of 25 years.

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.

Please note that we do not take/make telephone calls prior to receiving an application.
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.
