Meet Shandy! She can be shy and nervous when first meeting new people but once she is comfortable she can be fun and affectionate. Shandy loves going for walks where she can sniff and explore to her hearts content. She also loves treats and will do just about anything if you have them in hand. She is looking for an active home with a family who will be patient with her and let her set the pace.
