Meet Sandy! Sandy is a sweet 2-4 year-old Pittie girl weighing about 50 pounds, and she’s truly the full package; gentle, friendly, easygoing, and eager to please.
Dog-Friendly: Sandy gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes. She’s especially submissive and respectful with older female dogs and would thrive in a home with a confident, tolerant canine friend to help guide her.
Kid-Friendly: This girl adores children. She’s gentle, kind, and loves soaking up hugs, snuggles, and attention from little ones.
Cats: She hasn’t been officially cat-tested, but she shows no prey drive in the yard and doesn’t chase squirrels, so she may do well with proper introductions.
House & Crate Manners: Sandy is potty-trained and has had zero accidents in the house. She’s also a crate lover—her kennel is her safe, cozy spot, and she’ll happily nap there during the day.
Energy Level: Medium. Sandy gets excited to go outside but is otherwise calm and relaxed. Indoors, she moves about gently and even her playtime stays low-key.
Training & Behavior: No guarding issues No leash reactivity No aggression No separation anxiety Shy at first, but not fearful Excellent recall (still improving and should not be trusted off-leash in open spaces yet) Extremely food-motivated and loves training games
Personality: Sandy is a tender, loving soul who wants to be everyone’s friend. New environments can make her a bit shy at first, but with time, patience, and reassurance, she opens up beautifully. A steady dog companion would be a great confidence-booster for her.
Why You’ll Love Her: Sandy is a truly wonderful dog—sweet, polite, affectionate, and eager to belong. She’s ready to be the loyal companion of a family who will give her the love, structure, and reassurance she needs to continue blossoming.
If you’re looking for a gentle-hearted best friend, Sandy might just be your perfect match! Sandy is currently in a loving foster home in Houston, TX area. She is available to travel out-of-state!

ThisIsHouston is a rescue dedicated to helping those who cannot ask for help!
The inundation of graphic dog posts and images on social media seems to have rendered a lot of people helpless. The bystander effect has grabbed a hold of our city and it isn’t loosening its grip. Most people are not aware of the stray overpopulation problem going on in this city. The others don’t help because somebody else will. Well, we are ‘somebody else’. We have no super powers. We have no magic formula or secret that gives us the ability to do what we do. We are just an example of what can be done when people come together for a common cause and leave egos at the door. Why do we do this? Because we choose to. Because we are tired of dogs suffering needlessly. And because we refuse to live in a world where there is a choice not to help.
