Hi everyone, my name is Sandy
Even though she is just a puppy, Sandy is already mastering the art of stealing hearts. With her adorably mismatched eyes, she is looking for a family that will explore the world… and maybe your snack cupboard too.
We’re guessing Sandy will grow into an active breed, which means she’s not here for a couch-potato lifestyle (unless it’s after a very big day out). She’s curious, clever, and already showing off her brainpower by tackling puzzle toys like a tiny genius. Because of this, she’ll thrive with a family who’s committed to ongoing training, mental stimulation, and plenty of positive reinforcement.
Sandy is also a social butterfly, she absolutely loves making friends and would be more than happy to share her new home with another dog who can match her playful energy.
If you’re ready for a loyal companion who will keep you on your toes and look at you with those unforgettable eyes, Sandy might just be your perfect match.

Adopting an animal
Adopting an animal is a rewarding experience that will last a lifetime. But before you adopt a pet please take some time to consider the commitment you are about to make. Sometimes the excitement of pet ownership can overshadow factors that should be considered before adoption.
Adopting a shelter pet is a lifelong decision that will have a major impact to your normal, everyday life. Please remember that a cat or dog can live for up to 20 years and they will rely only on you for their wellbeing for their entire life.
- Do I have time to exercise the dog every day?
- Do I have time for puppy pre-school and time to socialise a puppy?
- Do I have at least an hour every day to spend with my cat?
- Do I have time for obedience training?
- If renting, does the landlord permit pets?
- Is the backyard big enough and is the fencing secure?
- Does the whole family want a pet?
- Will the pet be allowed inside?
- Will I have to move interstate or overseas in the foreseeable future?
- Will I have to move to another rental property where the landlord may not allow pets.
Pets are a lifelong monetary commitment, you will need to factor in:
- Weekly animal food bills and necessities
- Yearly council registration
- Monthly medications like heart worm/intestinal worm and flea treatments
- Annual vet visits for vaccinations and check ups
- Unexpected vet bills due to accidents or medical conditions
- Ongoing grooming
- Boarding fees for human holidays
- Enrichment like training, toys etc
