Sandy NJ - American Staffordshire Terrier Dog for Adoption in Rockaway, New Jersey

Just look at that smile! Meet Sandy, our energetic and affectionate girl who's found herself at our shelter after her previous owner sadly decided they could no longer keep her. At 3 years old and fully grown at 55 lbs, Sandy has a joyful and enthusiastic personality that makes everyone smile

This sweet girl loves her toys and getting plenty of pets. She's a quick learner too, already mastering basic commands like Sit, Lay, Roll over, and Paw. Sandy is both house trained and crate trained, too!

While Sandy gets along well with all people, she would be best suited for a family with older or considerate kids who can match her energy and enthusiasm. And let's not forget her love for other dogs—Sandy is a social butterfly with her canine friends! But she would also be quite happy to be your one and only

Don't be surprised if you catch Sandy doing her famous "zoomies" around the yard; she's got energy to spare! But after a good run, she's just as happy to curl up on the couch and snuggle close, proving she's the best of both worlds.

If you’re ready for a loving companion who is as playful as she is cuddly, apply now for SANDY NJ at www.ehrdogs.org. Get ready to add a dash of fun and a whole lot of love to your life!
