Meet Sandy Rooney! Sandy is a very smart, playful, and cuddly beagle/ hound mix! At only 3 months old, she knows “sit”, “off”, and "paw". She sleeps up to 9 hours overnight in her crate, and is fully potty trained (she will sit at the front door and let you know when its time to "potty") She is very food motivated and would probably learn anything for the promise of a treat! Sandy Rooney is very good about napping in her crate and sleeping through the night. Sandy is a bit vocal about being ready to come out of the crate, but has learned the "settle" command and will calm down and come out of her crate after being told "come on out"! As beagles and hounds usually do, she howls when she is scared, in a new situation, or is being fast approached by other kids. However, she finds comfort in looking to her humans for guidance after being initially startled and gets along with humans of all ages—2 years old to 74 years old! Sandy Rooney was fostered with her littermate sister “Sandra Vielma” and two 2.5 years old kitties. At the time, she was afraid of the kitties, but has since become comfortable with them as time goes on. It is unclear how well she would do living with cats long-term, but with guidance of another older dog, she might fair better. She gets along great with other dogs, but is shy at first. Sandy Rooney travels very well! She came alongside her foster family for a 2 hour ride and slept or snuggled in laps the whole time. She pooped and peed when stopped, then rode another 1.5 hours just as easily as the first 2! Adoption Day: August 16th at PetSmart Tysons Corner from 10:00–11:00 AM, an approved adopter must be present to adopt. Some pups may stick around until 12:00 PM for the public event—check our Facebook page closer to the date to see if this pup will be attending the extra fun! Sandy is a sweet, gentle, loving dog. She is a cuddler. Like other dogs, Sandy is smart and loves chasing balls. ##2370077##
