About Sandy Avalon The Girl with the Gentlest soul

Sandy radiates innocence and sweetness, instantly melting hearts with her gentle soul and soulful eyes. She's quiet and affectionate, taking a little time to warm up to new people, but once she does, she's a loyal best friend. Her affection is shown through subtle lean-ins and small steps closer, a quiet testament to her loving nature.

Ideal Home

Sandy thrives in a home with at least one other dog, as canine companionship helps build her confidence. She needs a patient family willing to give her time to adjust to new surroundings and a secure, fenced yard for safe exploration. Older, respectful children are best, as sudden movements can make her skittish, and she needs space to feel secure.

Ongoing Health

Sandy is fully vetted, including DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad-spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12-month heartworm preventative injectable, and a heartworm test. She is microchipped with free lifetime registration.

Training & Support

Sandy is fully crate trained and 100% potty trained, a remarkable achievement given her past. She walks beautifully on a leash, is non-reactive to common distractions, and enjoys short car rides. While not treat-motivated, she adores Colby Jack cheese, which can be used for training and medication. She's quiet and rarely barks, making her an ideal companion for a peaceful home. She enjoys affection on her own terms, responding well to chin scratches, head rubs, and chest massages.
