Sandy

My story

**Note: Currently, Sandy is in Korea, but will fly to Toronto upon adoption. Background Sandy was rescued early this summer after living a lonely and neglected life. She had been chained outside a small restaurant near our partner shelter in a rural town. The elderly restaurant owner said she “fed” Sandy once a week: just leftover scraps that were barely edible. When our shelter manager saw her, she couldn’t walk away. After several visits and gentle persuasion, the owner finally agreed to surrender Sandy to us. Since then, Sandy has been living safely at our partner boarding house with other rescue dogs, where she’s been learning what love and care truly mean. Personality & Socialization Sandy is a gentle, sweet, and loving girl. She can be a little shy at first, but it doesn’t take her long to open up. Once she feels safe, she becomes very affectionate and enjoys being close to people. She’s friendly with both men and women and loves spending time with her humans. Sandy also gets along well with other dogs, both big and small, as long as they are friendly and kind. She especially enjoys the company of gentle, playful dogs and fits in beautifully in a calm, social group. Behaviours Sandy has a medium energy level and a calm, balanced temperament. She’s easygoing, mature, and adaptable to new environments. She walks well on leash, as if she’s been trained before, and enjoys her outings quietly by your side. She’s well-behaved during baths, car rides, and vet visits, and has shown no signs of separation anxiety or destructive behavior. Sandy is intelligent, obedient, and loyal. Truly a joy to care for. Health & Diet When rescued, Sandy tested positive for heartworms, sadly, not a surprise given her past living conditions. She received full treatment and has now completely recovered. Sandy is healthy and ready for her forever home. She is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and on regular flea and tick prevention. She eats dry kibble twice a day and has shown no allergies. Ideal Home Sandy would do well in many kinds of homes. She’d be happy as an only dog, soaking up all the love and attention, or as a second dog alongside a gentle, friendly companion. Her easygoing nature makes her a wonderful match for someone looking for a calm, affectionate, and loyal companion. After all she’s been through, Sandy deserves a home where she will finally be loved and cherished. Whoever adopts her will be truly lucky. ------------------------- For more info about the dog or the adoption application, please follow the link below. https://www.freekoreandogs.org/dog/sandy/
