Sandee - ADOPTED 11.14.10

Sweet Sandee came into care with LDDR in September 2010 all the way from Holland….Holland, MI that is. A young dog, Sandee had many losses in her short life. Her original owner was completing military training and a tour of duty in Iraq so left Sandee with a relative until he returned. Unfortunately, his wife, needing treatment for cancer, required a sterile environment so he could not take Sandee back. Then, the family caring for Sandee encountered financial problems and could no longer afford to keep her. The shelter where Sandee was surrendered was overcrowded and Sandee was in danger of being euthanized. Luckily, LDDR was notified and brought Sandee into care. Sandee’s adorable face and sweet personality was irresistible to everyone who met her. She freely gave ‘kisses’ to anyone and loved having her belly rubbed. Parting with Sandee was difficult for the foster mom, but she knew if she didn’t let Sandee go she couldn’t foster another dog in need. Many wonderful families applied for Sandee making that decision even much harder. One family in particular fell in love with Sandee over the internet and came all the way from Connecticut to meet her. It was love at first sight all over again. So thrilled was the family when they learned they were chosen to adopt Sandee, they drove back again from Connecticut in snowy weather, an 11-hour drive, just to pick her up. After returning to Connecticut, they quickly informed the foster mom that Sandee did just fine on the journey home and is enjoying playtime with her new canine brother and feline friends.
