Animal Helpline Dog Rescue

THIS MONTH WE HAVE THE BEAUTIFUL SANDY

Sandy is a 3/4yr old male greyhound who arrived at our rescue from the pound very thin and frightened of everything especially the human hand, he would cower with fear and his big brown eyes would shut tight.
He has been in a foster home for 4 months now where the resident dogs have helped him to understand that doggy life can be great. Sandy would not go through doorways when he first arrived or eat food whilst humans were present, he would also urinate when there were loud noises.
Sandy has really turned a corner and is much more confident - he gets this from the resident dogs who he follows and learns from. He adores doggy company and greets all the resident and other foster dogs with a waggy tail and a smile ,there is not an aggressive bone in his body and he loves to snuggle down in his bed with the other dogs.
Sandys life until he came to our rescue has been a kennel & a race track where he has received no love or attention - he really deserves to spend the rest of his days in a loving ,kind forever home
He has come along way from when he first arrived and would make a great companion. He walks lovely on a lead – only needing 2 twenty minute walks a day - and is quite happy to lay by your feet all day snoozing. Sandy is house trained and loves the company of other dogs as it helps him to feel secure. He would love to share his home with a calm girlfriend so he would have someone to snuggle up to. Sandy is still nervous of loud noises and would require his new family to give him time to settle.
He is still nervous of men and when he meets new people he won’t go up to them. This makes him harder to re-home, not because he isn’t a wonderful dog, but because he takes a while to warm to people. It’s heart-breaking to see people pass him by because he is scared of them.
So, Sandy will give someone love and companionship for many years to come, he doesn’t have an aggressive bone in his body – he deserves his second chance at a happy life.
