Sandy

My story

Sandy is the shyest soul from the heartbreaking hoarding and abandonment case in Yuma, Arizona. Her journey has been one of survival, and while she may not be the first to run up for pets, she’s already showing us just how brave and resilient she truly is.This gentle girl has every reason to be wary of humans—but instead, she’s choosing to try. Little by little, we see her opening up: a soft tail wag, a cautious approach, a moment of trust when she leans in for a gentle touch. It’s in these quiet victories that Sandy’s spirit shines.Sandy will need time, patience, and a calm, understanding home where she can feel safe. She’s still learning that love can be gentle, hands can be kind, and the world doesn’t have to be so scary. But under that shy exterior is a sweet, kind-hearted dog just waiting to feel secure.She’ll need support learning the basics—walking on a leash, playing, and building confidence—but with time, Sandy will blossom into a loyal and loving companion.If you have a soft spot for the quiet ones and believe in the power of second chances, Sandy is waiting to meet you. Let her show you the beauty of trust, one small step at a time.
