DESCRIPTION
Meet Andrew!
Andrew is an 8-week-old shepherd blend puppy who weighs 8 pounds and is totally hilarious! His expressive face always says it all! I dropped a plastic water bottle and he ran and had to hide! After I showed him what the big scary thing was and all of his siblings playing with it he reluctantly joined in the playtime! Andrew and all of his siblings love love love water!! So they will need a kiddie pool this summer!
His story began when we received a plea along with a photo of his mom, Alina, living among trash and heavily pregnant. Thankfully, Alina was rescued just in time and welcomed her eight puppies into the safety of foster care only a few days later. Alina has a wonderful temperament-she is sweet, loving, and weighs about 30 pounds. Dad is unknown, but Andrew clearly inherited his mom's wonderful personality.
From the very beginning, Andrew has been surrounded by love. First nurtured by his devoted mom, Alina, and then raised in a caring foster home after weaning, he has had the best start possible. He currently lives with six resident foster dogs and three of his siblings, who are helping teach him important social skills and good dog manners!
Andrew is learning how to be a great companion and is growing into a confident, well-adjusted puppy thanks to the love and guidance he receives every day.
If you're looking for a sweet, loving puppy to raise to be part of your family, Andrew is ready to be part of your family!
