B101.7’s Pet of the Week Ain’t Nothin’ but a Hound Dog

This B101.7 Pet of the Week ain't nothin' but a hound dog, who won't be crying all the time when you adopt her from the Humane Society of West Alabama! Say hello to Sandy.

This 3-year-old female Shepherd/Hound mix is black, tan and white. She has a smooth coat and hound-like floppy ears. A good-sized dog, weighing 46 pounds. This will be as big as she will get.

Sandy was pulled from our local animal shelter, where she had been picked up as a stray by Animal Control and no one came to claim her after several weeks down there. The Humane Society rescued her by getting this pretty girl out of there. Sandy is a great big ole hunk of love! She is so friendly and social. She gets excited for a bit, then settles down into a pretty easygoing lady.

Sandy would make a great family pet and should be fine with children ages 10 and up, just maybe not young ones due to her size if she jumps up on them. Sandy gets along well with other dogs and seems to be the submissive one in a pack. She is probably too big for an apartment, and she will require a fenced-in yard due to having some scent hound in her (she would take off). Sandy loves to be with you and rides great in the car.

Crate training has started and Sandy is up to date on her vet care. This includes being spayed, heartworm negative and microchipped. Plus, heartworm and flea/tick prevention. What a great dog! Who will be her new lucky best friend?!

If you are interested in giving Moe the forever home she wants and deserves, visit the Humane Society of West Alabama.
