About me Hey there, my name is Andy! Before we become best friends let me tell you about myself. My foster mom calls me her shadow because wherever she is at, I follow her around. I am that type of dog that always wants to be by your side. I am a loyal companion who is looking for his forever family. Whether it’s chilling on the couch, going for a walk, or lounging by the pool with friends and fun music- I just want to spend time with you. We think I am around 2-3 years old. Some of my favorite activities include sticking my head out of the car window to enjoy the breeze, drinking water from the hose, playing with squeaky toys, savoring a pup cup, giving kisses (because I am such a love bug), getting attention by being pet, and admiring you with my beautiful brown boxer eyes. I get along well with men and women. Plus, I am non-reactive on walks and I walk very well in my harness! I love having other dog companions and get along great with other dogs. I am house trained and am learning to swim! I am an early bird who is ready to seize the day! Reach out to meet me if you think we’d be a perfect fit.

| 05/14/2025 Andy has been a helper dog for the last two play groups. Andy can do small burts of rowdy play. When Andy is ready to slow down his play he does small communicative soft play growling while paly wrestling with other dog. Andy can also do soft body butting to try and level other dog down. Andy will does positively correct if other stays to playful. Andy starts with soft paly growling and body butting, and will advance to louder growling, head overs, and body butting. If Andy is in with multiple dogs and they still want the rowdy play and he does not he will manage them by coming in between with a soft play growl to separate. Overall Andy will match playstyles but will try to manage them down after he gets tired.May do best with medium playful, confident dog. Slow repeated monitored introductions on leash are recommended. |

| 02/20/2025 FROM FOSTER: My husband and I fostered Andy for 12 days. We both work primarily from home and gave him ~1 hour of leashed walks per day. He is trained with many commands and good behavior: sit, down, shake, he is fully house trained and can be left alone for several hours without any destruction or accidents. Andy is very affectionate and his goal in life is to get your attention which he can do appropriately and also inappropriately. We found that Andy does best in a household willing to set clear and firm boundaries with him that they enforce in a calm and consistent manner daily. He is a very smart dog with high energy and is dependent on his human companions for direction and engagement throughout the day. If you can provide him that, you’ll have the most eager and friendly best friend in no time! |
| 02/20/2025 FROM FOSTER: While he is definitely high energy, he more so needs a very consistent person to define boundaries and uphold them because he will test those limits often. He seems to understand the boundaries with me and interacts with me well, but he throws puppy-style temper tantrums with my husband. He barks relentlessly at him while he works from home and won’t let him sit on the couch without trying to jump all over him and when my husband tries to tell him “no” he playfully bites his hands and feet and thinks it’s a game. |
| 02/10/2025 from foster: Andy is doing well! He’s a very high energy boy so we’re working on creating boundaries and some rules with him because he seems to be overly excitable and can be unruly. We’ll take him on a long walk this afternoon which will hopefully help him too. He’s a really sweet boy though! He’s just needs some adjustment time. |

| 11/29/2024 From Foster: Andy is such a cool, good looking guy who is DOWN to rally. He is motivated the most by interactions with people, gave so many kisses and sought affection often with his tall reach, he liked to just hang out there, fully extended stretching up on you. He has a very short attention span, he will play with a toy for one sec and then go to look out the window the next. Sniffing is his fav but he would also make a really great running mate. I think he could be trained to run next to a bike or longboard as well as he is really good at keeping a nice steady and fast pace. Another doggie playmate to help burn off some energy could also be nice since he doesn't have a strong toy drive. He is a bit restless, still needing more time to decompress, but still a dog that would thrive with a job or regular exercise (more than 2 casual walks a day). He is a very quiet boy, we heard no barks from him even when he was listening to dogs outside barking. He is potty trained however he doesn't seem to have lived in a house before. Upon entry to the backyard he walked right into the pool! But he didn't let it scare him or break his confidence, he just learned from it and kept going. Not skittish at all. He had clearly also never been on a couch as it took him a few tries to get up on it even though he could have jumped right up. Getting into the car was also a small learning curve, he got onto the floor and then the seat. Enjoyed the ride. Confidence building with him getting up onto new things would be a great activity (overall he is not an insecure dog at all so I was a bit surprised). He can pull on leash a bit but responds to correction well. Andy is also a curious counter surfer, and in general likes to check things out while standing on his back legs. He voluntarily took a toy into his crate, I did not get enough time to see how he did with it closed. Overall - Andy is a super duper love bug who will need an active home and someone willing to teach him a couple manners on how to live in one. He does know sit. Would not recommend younger children until he has a little more self control when excited. Very adoptable, sweet boy. |

| 10/17/2024 FUN & PLAYFUL! Easy leashing, pulled a little leaving building but ignored other dogs. In PY, sat for treats, took nicely. Picked up ropey toy & started flailing it. He threw it up in air with his head & then caught it. Used it to play tug of war w/me & I always let him win. Tail wagger. Sat for treats. When a person walked by, he ran to fence & followed that person along opposite side. Enjoyed petting all over. Unfazed by all the barking. Easy return. |
