11/4/24 – Sandy has been rehomed!
Gorgeous Sandy is an approximately 7 year old Cockapoo lady being fostered in Gloucestershire with other dogs in an adult home provided by Starfish Dog Rescue. Sandy weighs approximately 7.4 kilos and came into care with her daughter after her owners became too poorly to look after them.
The Rescue was told they were not bonded and very different dogs, that Sandy was more independent and wanted a quiet life whereas her daughter was the more outgoing one. After Sandy was spayed, she was very needy with her daughter then, but it was short lived once she starting recovering and Teddy starting feeling more confident and happy.
As the weeks have gone by, they are two very different dogs with different needs in the way of homes and that is why the decision has been made to split them. Sandy really does like a quiet life and finds living with 3 other dogs too much. She will take herself off and will often growl and snap at the other dogs if they disturb her peace. So her foster carer has set up a crate behind the sofa for her to have a safe space. She does not even want her daughter near at these times.
Sandy is a very friendly dog with people she knows and very loving. She travels fine and is good with other dogs out on walks. She has not been let off the lead yet due to her being recently spayed but it shouldn’t be a problem, though she does pull on her lead. She can live with cats as she was brought up in a multi-cat household in her previous home.
Sandy is going to suit a person or adult couple with a quiet home. She is quite barky with new visitors to the home but will settle down. She can be a bit possessive over toys and gets a bit growly but that is all it is and with the other dogs. Sandy has been left for short period and is initially a bit barky but soon settles. She is clean in the home and settles at night with no problems.
It’s believed Sandy has had a very unsettled period in her life with her owners being poorly, having to live with relations and then coming into rescue. She shook in fear when she was first left and was so worried. She is still worried and that is why a quiet home as an only dog with one or two people who have had rescue dogs before and with not too many visitors would be perfect for her.
Sandy has now been spayed, chipped, started her vaccinations, has received treatment for an ear infection and is flea/wormed treated. You can watch lovely videos of her here.
