Story
Meet Andy — the Sweet, Loyal Survivor Looking for His Forever Home
Andy’s story is one of heartache, healing, and hope. On March 14th, 2024, he was found abandoned on private property in Liverpool, TX, emaciated, covered in scars, and showing every sign of long-term neglect. Despite everything he had endured, Andy greeted his rescuers with nothing but gentleness and a desire to be loved.
Now approximately 3–4 years old, Andy has completed heartworm treatment and is healthy, happy, and so ready to finally find a place to call home.
What Andy Needs
Andy thrives in an environment with structure and routine. He is a classic Velcro dog, he wants to be with his people, included in everything, and loved deeply. If you’re looking for a loyal shadow who thinks the world revolves around you, Andy is your boy. He is not the dog to leave out in the backyard by himself. He has to be part of the family.
He would do best with:
An active family who will involve him in daily life
Someone committed to continuing his basic manners training
(He gets very excited when greeting his people and may jump, but he responds incredibly well to guidance!)
His Journey So Far
It breaks our hearts that Andy still hasn’t found his forever home. Since entering rescue in April 2024, he has bounced between in-home boarding and temporary foster homes, not because he’s difficult, but because stability has been hard to secure.
During his time in a temp foster home, Andy thrived as an indoor dog. He adored soaking up affection, exploring new routines, and simply being included. His last foster home supported him through heartworm treatment, and he has been waiting patiently ever since for someone to finally choose him.
Andy deserves to land somewhere soft, somewhere stable.
A true forever home is our dream for him, but we are open to a foster home where he can decompress, bond with people, and experience what consistent love feels like.
Kids & Other Pets
Kids: We do not know how Andy is with children, so he needs a home without small kids.
Cats: Neutral when introduced through a fence, no reaction.
Other Animals:
Completely unbothered when two turkeys wandered into his play yard (yes, really!).
Positive toward friendly dogs in adjacent play yards.
BUT he will not tolerate dominant males or dogs that challenge him.
Best match: a friendly, calm female dog or being the only pet.
Andy Is Waiting!
After everything this boy has survived, he deserves the world. Stability. Love. Safety. A family who won’t give up on him.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will adore you endlessly, Andy is ready.
If you can’t commit forever but can offer a patient, loving foster home, we would be grateful, and so would he.
Andy has waited long enough.
Help us give him the happy ending he deserves.
