Sandy - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Kennewick, Washington

Looking for a heart filled with adventure? Well look no further because here I am! While you may think "outside dog" when you think of my breed, I would prefer to spend plenty of time indoors as well! I like to be near my favorite people and may get sad, or bored, if left outside all day and night. As my breed can be a little nosy, it may be beneficial to try crate training me so my excellent nose doesn't get me into things you'd prefer I leave alone when you're not around. My breed is fantastic for active homes that like to go go go. However, due to our natural prey drive, it is recommended that I go to a home with no cats, chickens, or other small animals that are free to roam.
Food is a huge motivator if you can figure out what my favorite snacks are and with the right treats you can see just how clever I am. One thing is for sure, a home with a pup like me is a home with plenty of laughs and goofy moments!
If you think I'm as pretty as I do, you should consider adding me to your family! Just make sure that you have the time, patience, energy, and resources to care for me for my entire life before you make any commitments to me! Primary Color: Tan Weight: 18.8kg Age: 2yrs 0mths 1wks
