Sandy-adopted 2 022 - Adopted on 10/19/2022

She is still getting used to her new reality so her behavior is changing but she has been a very sweet girl so far. She does well with other dogs and will try and initiate play. A little shy with people at first but a kind hand is greeted with a wagging tail and smile. The shyness is likely to disappear as she meets more people. She was supposed to be working with livestock in a rural part of south western VA, which is what their breed is known for, but she ended up in the local shelter instead. She seems more suited to the home life, is house trained, sleeps though the night, walks okay on a leash, does well in the car (after an initial protest about getting in). She is young so has her bursts of energy running around the yard but for the most part she is perfectly content to lounge around the cool air conditioned house with the two other resident couch (dog bed) potatoes. She is under weight (66 lbs on intake) but has a healthy appetite so that won't be the case for long. A healthy weight for her is in the 75-80 lb range so she is going to be a big girl.
