Meet Sandy!
Sandy is a beautiful 4-year-old Lab who is ready to discover just how wonderful life as a beloved family dog can be!
This sweet girl came to us from a breeding facility, so everything about living in a home and being part of a family is new to her. New sights, sounds, people, places, toys, and experiences can take some getting used to. Sandy will need a patient and understanding family who will give her the time and space she needs to settle in, build confidence, and learn that she is safe and loved.
Sandy is a laid-back girl who is good with other dogs. Because of her calm personality, she would do best with another calm, easygoing dog rather than a high-energy playmate.
She would also thrive in a calm, adult-only home where life is predictable and she can adjust at her own pace. A quieter environment will help Sandy feel secure as she continues learning about life outside of a breeding facility.
Sandy is housetrained and crate trained-two big gold stars for this wonderful girl! She is also learning how to walk on a leash. Walks are new to her, so she’ll need a family willing to patiently help her practice and gain confidence.
Sandy also doesn’t know how to play yet. Toys, games, and all those fun things that most dogs take for granted are completely new to her. With time, patience, and perhaps a calm canine friend to show her the way, we hope Sandy will discover just how much fun being a dog can be!
Sandy has not lived with cats, so we don't know how she would do with them.
Sandy isn't looking for a busy household or lots of excitement. She's looking for patient people, a peaceful home, and the chance to experience all the love and comfort she deserves.
If you have a calm, adult-only home and are willing to let Sandy blossom on her own timeline, she just might be the perfect girl for you.
Interested? Here is what happens next.
- Submit an ApplicationComplete our adoption application after reviewing the Adoption Requirements and FAQs. Please answer every question completely, as incomplete applications cannot be processed. You're welcome to indicate interest in a specific dog, but because our commitment is to the right match, requesting a particular dog does not guarantee placement.
- Phone Interview & Home VisitAfter your application is reviewed, a GRFR volunteer will contact you if you meet our adoption requirements. A phone interview to learn more about your family, home, lifestyle, and expectations, then a home visit to ensure your home is a safe environment for a dog. ALL household members and resident dogs/pets MUST be present during the home visit.
- Meet Your MatchWhen one of our foster volunteers believes a dog may be a good fit for your family, they'll contact you to arrange a meet-and-greet. If you receive a voicemail or text message from a foster, you must respond within 24 hours. If you do not respond the foster home will move on to the next approved applicant.
