Sandra is currently living in one of our amazing foster homes! Here is a note from her foster:
`Sandra is a lovely, 60 lb. pit bull-terrier mix. She has been a joyful addition to our home since October 16. She is completely house-broken and sleeps through the night in bed with one of her foster parents. She is very friendly with people and dogs. Sandra loves to chase tennis balls in the backyard, play tug-of-war, and snuggle. Sandra takes treats, food, and medicine gently from her foster parent’s hand. She loves going for car rides.
She is free to roam throughout the house even when nobody is home and doesn’t get into things- she mostly sleeps. When her foster parents work from home she sleeps or plays with her toys.
She walks with a loose leash and likes to play with the neighbor dogs. She also runs with her foster dad and can go 2 miles.
She can be mouthy when playing but her foster parents are working on this with her. Because of the mouthiness Sandra would do better in a house without kids under 12. Other dogs seem to really like her, but the smaller ones are sometimes overwhelmed by her size and friendly enthusiasm.`
Adopting from foster is easy! just call the adoptions team at 734-662-5585 or email adoptions@hshv.org to set up a visit today!
