Andromeda

Andromeda was turned in at the Sac City shelter as a very pregnant stray, so nothing is known about her background. She whelped a litter of puppies the very next night at the shelter, and came into our rescue just hours after that. In spite of being a puppy herself, she has been a very good mama.

Andromeda, or Romy, is between 12 and 18 months and is still a little underweight at 55 lbs. Romy is very lady like, and affectionate and sweet with every person she has met. She does not jump up on people, instead preferring to scoot as close as possible and give soft kisses.

She is housebroken with the use of a doggie-door, and sleeps loose in the house, preferring a soft dog bed. She will steal from the garbage and counter surf if tasty items are left within dog-reach, but other than that, she has been perfectly well behaved in the house. She rides politely in a car, and we learned that she likes to sing along when sirens go by! She is learning how to walk politely on a leash, and knows how to sit for her dinner.

Andromeda has gotten along with the other adult and juvenile large dogs she's met, but will try to be a bit possessive of her person. She loves to run and play with the other dogs, but is a toy hoarder and will try to steal from the other dogs. She can be a little snarky with other females, so should only go to a home with males. She would probably do well as an only dog as well. She has also shown keen interest in the squirrels in the back yard, so a home with no small critters or cats would likely be best.

This is a Level 2 Dog
