Sandy is as sweet as her name! This gentle 9-month-old pup has the dreamiest sandy-colored coat that’s as soft as velvet—perfect for endless snuggles on the couch. She’s a total heart-stealer with her soulful eyes, sweet personality, and calm, cuddly nature. If you’re looking for a puppy who’s just as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside, Sandy is your girl.

She’s believed to be a Husky/Shepherd mix (though with rescues, it’s always a bit of a guess), but what’s certain is that she’s full of love. Sandy’s favorite spot is in a warm lap, soaking up affection, and she adores her people once she feels safe and secure.
In her foster home, Sandy has been learning all about family life with both dogs and cats. She loves playing tug-of-war with her foster dog sibling and enjoys joining her foster dad for walks. She even takes treats gently when hanging out with her sister pup. Around cats, she can be a little unsure at first, but with time, she’s learning how to live peacefully alongside them.
Sandy is still shy in new places and around new faces. At first, she may prefer to hang back or find a cozy spot to watch from, but with patience and love, she warms up and shows her affectionate, playful side. Another medium-energy dog in the home would be a wonderful confidence-booster for her.
Because she’s sensitive, Sandy wouldn’t thrive in an apartment or city setting—she’ll do best in a quieter home with space to stretch out and time to settle in. She’ll likely seek out safe little nooks in her new home at first, but over time, she’ll blossom into a loving, loyal companion who just wants to be close to her people.
If you’re searching for a gorgeous, soft, and affectionate puppy who needs just a little extra patience to shine, Sandy is waiting to steal your heart. She’s ready to bring her sweetness, her snuggles, and her beautiful sandy glow into a forever home that will love her for the gentle soul she is.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
