More About Andy

Andy's original post was a courtesy post by a Maryland rescue, but he lives in Kentucky - a bluegrass boy! - and I found his profile under his original rescue, True Heart MinPin Rescue. Here's his foster mom's update:

"18 months old 25 pounds Neutered Up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, microchipped Several guesses have been made as to what he is. Miniature lab, lab/weimeraner, vizula. It's hard to say. He's very well proportioned with lean lines. A cross between a jumping bean and a couch potato if there is such a thing. Loves to run and play with all dogs at the park- male or female, size doesn't matter. Still wants to chew - sticks, mulch, ratty tennis balls with the covers half off and rawhides. Rides very well in a crate in the car to the dogpark with his foster sister who is a heeler cattle dog mix. Would do best if he was crated while owners were at school or work since he tends to seek out magazines and shoes. (I'm sure sis helps) Andy has a lot of energy and needs someone who has another active dog willing to play and wrestle. He'd be an excellent candidate for agility training. Can respond to basic commands but should be worked with everyday. Doesn't seem to wear out but will get up on the couch and will burrow behind where you're sitting. Sweet,loving dog who enjoys life to the fullest. Dislikes: firecrackers and water. Has no interest in being rinsed off with a hose, getting in the creek or a child's swimming pool. Could have been a bad experience with water in his "past" life. Firecrackers are understandable. Hasn't truly been cat tested but when he sees one he's curious. Same for birds and squirrels."

I don't have a fence or another dog. Still, if they're looking for adopters as far away as Maryland, maybe they'll make some exceptions.

I also found a year-old male Shih Tzu for adoption in Annapolis. No photo but they say he's a real sweetheart. His name is Bo. He might be too small for me but since T-Bone LOVES Anyhc and wants an Anyhc-sized dog, I though I'd send away for more info.
