My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi friends, I’m Sandshrew. I’m a happy, playful guy who loves making new friends, going on adventures and soaking up all the love I can get.

I walk like a gentleman on a leash, and I learned how to "sit" in just a few days. If you'd like to teach me more things, I'm game.

I’ve had lots of fun playdates with both boy and girl dogs - as long as they’re friendly and respectful, we’re gonna have a blast! I’ve also hung out with some human kiddos, and we got along great. I’m gentle when I need to be, but I’ll never turn down a good game of fetch or a belly rub.

Cats, though? Not really my crowd. But if you’ve got a dog or two who likes to play and a heart big enough for a new goofy, loving pittie, I think we’ll get along perfectly. Come say hi today - I can't wait to meet you!
