Sandy von Saydee is a beautiful 18 month old German Shepherd. She has a sad tale to tell -- even we don’t know all the details -- but we do know she is a heroic survivor. Sandy was found by some Good Samaritans in the Central Valley who kept her safe but needed to find a permanent place for her. Westside didn’t know at that time that Sandy’s back had been broken in the past and healed on its own. There is no surgery that can help her now. One of our vets said it is a miracle she can even walk, -- which she does well -- but needs a protective boot so she doesn’t hurt her back foot, which she drags a little. She has no feeling in her tail and no feeling in her back end. She will have to wear diapers unless she is romping outside with her doggy friends or you! We know it will take a special person to give beautiful Sandy a home, but that person will be so rewarded because Sandy has so much to offer -- she is smart, loving and so appreciative.
