They say one dog year equals seven dog years. If that is so, Sandy has lived the dog equivalent of 42 human years. And all these 42 years are summed up in the few lines above\u2026<\/p>\n

We hope he has forgotten his first three months \u2013 the street, being kicked around, the hunger. Then \u2013 the Seslavci pound. Perhaps his first memories are with us \u2013 playing with the other puppies, all of which adopted as the time passed, and only Sandy remained behind. Day after day, someone goes into the cage, Sandy jumps about happily, but another dog gets chosen, and the people leave\u2026<\/p>\n

The shelter routine \u2013 cleaning, feeding, boredom and then again. The fun with the volunteers in the weekend! And then boredom again\u2026<\/p>\n

Of all our dogs \u2013 Sandy has been with us for the longest time. Of all our dogs, Sandy has looked at the world through bars the longest. To be able to imagine what \u201cEntry Number: 01\u201d means, we can simply tell you that the dogs that come in now bare numbers over 6000\u2026<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get us wrong \u2013 Sandy loves us and is happy to be here. He has no idea there is more to life than waiting for the volunteers to come back. That most dogs don\u2019t share their favorite people with 199 other dogs. That some get to walk every day, and a few times too\u2026<\/p>\n

Well, we are very pleased to tell you, Sandy will learn all of that soon! Because, Sandy, ladies and gentlemen, got a real chance and is now wagging his tail not at us, but at our colleague Betty in Holland! There is something even better \u2013 he has an adopter, a real one, his own! This time, we decided to play it safe and the transition period will be left to Betty who has a great experience with animals and will help him get used to the new environment, meet his new family gradually, whilst under her care and away from crazy ideas\u2026<\/p>\n

Ahhh, Sandy, dear child!<\/p>\n

You waited so long, but the future will compensate you, we are sure of it! And you have great love and affection ahead of you! Regarding us\u2026 we\u2019ve sent thousands of dogs to their new homes\u2026 but still, we were unable to hold our tears when you left\u2026
\nBe happy, Sandy!<\/p>\n
