About Andy

Hi there! I'm Andy, a sweet and affectionate pup born around March 3rd. I'm looking for my forever family and I can't wait to meet you! My favorite things include cuddling up with my people, playing with my toys, going on car rides, and making new dog friends. I'm a total cuddle bug and love being close to my humans – you might even call me a little Velcro pup! When it's time to relax, you'll usually find me snoozing on the couch after a fun day of adventures.

I'm wonderful with other dogs, have done great with a cat (I'm learning to respect my feline friend's boundaries), and was gentle and patient with a child under one year old. I ride amazingly in the car without making a peep, walk best on a harness, and already know sit, come, no, off, and some fetch. I'm also very easy to handle and don't mind having my paws touched, being picked up, or being gently handled. I do take a little time to warm up to new people, but once I know you're a friend, my loving personality shines through!

Ideal Home

I'd especially enjoy a home with another friendly dog, or a family that can regularly meet up with canine friends for walks and playdates. I'll do best with a family that is home most of the day.

Ongoing Health

All my necessary medical treatments are up-to-date, including spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations, and heartworm treatment.

Training & Support

Like any puppy, I'm still learning! I'm making great progress with my house training on a consistent routine and am learning that my crate is a safe place. I'm excited to continue my positive puppy training and help me grow into the amazing dog I'm becoming.
