Meet Sandy – The Unstoppable Spirit on Three Legs
Female | Spayed | Fully Vaccinated
Sandy’s story began on the side of a road—hit by a car, both back legs crushed. One leg couldn’t be saved; the other healed with limited mobility but zero limits on her joy. This brave girl didn’t just survive—she thrives.
Now living in a bustling shelter with 40+ dogs, Sandy is the resident ray of sunshine: outgoing, playful, and always ready to explore. She’s adapted beautifully to life on three legs and greets every day with a wagging tail and a happy hop.
Sandy is:
• Dog-social – loves playtime and pack life
• Walk-ready – enjoys short, gentle strolls (perfect for city blocks or quiet parks)
• Weight-conscious – stays lean to protect her joints (easy with her love for play, not food obsession)
• Bed-snuggler – melts into soft, orthopedic dog beds (her favorite luxury)
• Crate-trained – settles calmly when needed
• Potty-trained – reliable in yard or on leash
Sandy doesn’t need pity—she needs a soft landing spot and a family who’ll keep her moving (lightly) and loved (heavily). Her noble heart and infectious cheer will fill your home with light.

More about this rescue
501c3 non-profit l est 2019 l
We have been fostering dogs since early 2019 through various rescues.
What better way to showcase them then in a playful, happy, loving environment with other loving dogs in our community.
Recently we have started changing things as we are looking for our pups to go into foster homes/foster to adopt.
We typically fly dogs in from over capacity shelters in Texas, drive puppers over from Yakima, and still have an amazing relationship with a partnering rescue in Mexico.
