Sandy is a 6-year-old female Boston Terrior / American Staffordshire mix dog who was rescued and brought to Pets Alive in May 2014. Sandy loves to play with the other dogs in play groups. Her favorite activity is fetching a ball and in the summer, she likes to splash around in the pool. She also likes to snuggle with her human - when she gets to know you. She's very shy at first. She would do best with an experienced dog owner who can continue her training. Pets Alive is open Mon-Sat from 10:00-4:00 or on Sundays from 11:00-4:00.
