Meet Fandy!  Fandy is another of the 4 we saved from euthanasia, just in the nick of time.  She is a sister to Dandy – and, so, our best assessment (NO GUARANTEE) is that Fandy is about 5 months old and a Shepherd/Collie mix (though, she is smooth-coated collie, meaning shorter coat); currently ~40lbs, we expect her to be a medium to large sized adult. 

When you meet her, expect your heart to melt. She approaches with a very soft presence and loves some chin rubs.  Fandy is currently in foster care in Schoharie County and is learning about life as a family member, as well as a winery vineyard assistant ;-)  They say she is very smart, mellow yet energetic - as any puppy/young adult, it should be expected to provide with both physical and mental stimulation to grow into a balanced adult dog.  

Fandy loves water and is learning to swim.  She also has a wonderful adult canine foster sibling who is teaching her some safe environment off-leash skills in the fields - something that of course will need to continue to be trained if expected to possibly be maintained.

She is very dog social, and actually we think she will do best with a canine housemate or frequent canine pal.  Also good with cats.  Fandy would probably be fine with dog savvy, respectful kids, she just hasn't had a ton of exposure yet and we'd want to make sure interactions with kids has she is still young and learning are positive :) 

Fandy is also pretty much housebroken, and will crate up when you leave the home.

This is a GREAT girl with so much potential.  She wants immensely to please her human and will do just about anything to hear those magic "Good girl" words!
