| SANDY NEEDS A HOME
(COASTAL PET RESCUE) Sweet little Sandy has had a rough life so far. Dumped with her friends (family?), she was trapped and rescued by one of our volunteers. It has taken a while for Sandy to warm up to people, but there is steady improvement everyday. We still carry Sandy to the play yards, but she is working on her confidence and leash walking. She will probably need some help with house-breaking in her new home. Once Sandy accepts her person, we know that she will be an affectionate and loyal little companion.
