Sandy #A2020341, 4 yrs 62.2 lb., is heavy on my mind: I read her surrender notes a while back - Dumped for not being nice to the small family pup. I bet pack-walks might have helped.
In the questionnaire - What type of exercise was Sandy accustomed to? The Answer: NONE - Behavior with children (7 and up)? Answer: RESPECTFUL & exuberant!
Sandy was dumped at the shelter for not getting on with a small dog in the home (im not sure what the owners tried to help this issue); but she was sent off to the shelter!
Upon arriving at East Valley-she was terrified. Some animals shut down at the shelter, and that is what happened to her. But, volunteers were making progress... then, during a confusing incident in her kennel, she bit an AC officer. She was quarantined for 10 days and is now RED listed for euthanasia tomorrow at 4pm.
� WOW, JUST WOW! �
She's beautiful and certainly deserving of a life. She was kenneled with another large dog and was fine. Some big dogs prefer other big dogs only. No crime, just personality.
She is anxious & fearful in the shelter and for that, she may lose her life.
To save Sandy we need a RESCUE and we really need a calm home with and understanding foster/adopter. She needs time, she needs exercise, and gentle pets, and love, and more TIME, and kindness, security and UNDERSTANDING.
Pls., consider fostering and we can try to find a Rescue.
Sandy is not a bad dog. She is a dog who's been put in bad situations and was given not tools to negotiate.
Sandy has been a failed dog. Lets change that.
**MUST EXIT 1/11/2023 AT 4 PM**
