ANDY - Story coming

Special Needs Dog -- Andy is an approx. 5 year old male V mix, unclaimed stray, from a local shelter. He is neutered, up to date on shots, micro chipped. His tail is docked too short and his dew claws are still on. Andy is a big boy at 24" and 64 lbs with a deep and broad chest and golden rust coat. Andy is calm in the house, does not jump on people, is housetrained and loves to cuddle in the chair. He knows sit and down. He waits at the door to be told to come in/out. He knows kennel up but is not wild about staying long and he emits a soft whine while settling down until he decides you are not letting him out. He does sleep on a dog bed at the foot of the human’s bed. Andy gets along with most dogs but does not have any play skills so we are guessing he might have been an only dog. Andy would be best in a home where he gets moderate yard exercise and play but not days at doggie daycare or dog park forays. He needs better leash skills to not pull hard. Andy rides well in the car. Andy was tested with cats and he did not show any aggression but is very interested. He should do fine with cats as long as properly introduced and monitored on leash for the first week or so.
