Our Dog of the Day is Sandy.

In October 2010 we were alerted to Sandy's case by a dog warden.
She was being kept in a flat and toileting inside and because she had become so boisterous she was now being shut in a room on her own.
It was obvious she needed to be out of there but we had no space, so we launched an appeal for foster homes/permanent homes and funding and that is how this blog started!
However 15 months on and we have so far not found a suitable home for her, which is very disheartening.

One of the first things we did was let her run and she really loves to run and play with a ball. She ran in the snow which fell soon after she arrived.
We also took her on a basic training course and to agility as well as spaying and vaccinating her.

She is a very hyper dog and needs a home where she is the only dog, with a decent sized garden she can play in.
At the moment she is in kennels as we have no foster space for her and she cannot come back to us until Tara is homed as Tara is in her space by the radiator (although Tara would prefer to be on our bed!)

Sandy is quite happy in kennels and does not find it stressful, perhaps she enjoys watching all the activity after her previous life. Apparently she got on very well with Tina's son at Spangleberry kennels, when he was home from university at Christmas. He spent a lot of time playing with her and she was very good. This is very encouraging, perhaps a home with older teenage children would work?

It is costing us a lot to keep her in kennels and we are rapidly running out of funds.

Could YOU offer Sandy a foster home?

Could YOU offer Sandy a permanent home?

Could YOU donate towards her kennel costs?
