Graduate of December 2009 petting zoo. Adopted in early 2010.

Hi. My friends call me Sandy, and I am a dancer. Ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, hip-hop, western swing, modern, merengue, tango, salsa… I do it all and I love it all. Without dance, I would be just another boring three and a half foot long fire engine red chenille komodo dragon with sparkly hands and feet and a sparkly stripe down my back. But I feel special because of my dreams. I am currently putting together my audition for SYTYCD, and I think I have a good shot. I’m not as classically trained as some, but I have heart and my own personal style. I’ve also been told I have a very unique look and graceful, sophisticated lines. I love to perform, but sometimes I’m just as happy perfecting my moves in front of the mirror alone. Self-expression sets me free. I love to take car rides and hold my hand out the window and feel the breeze running through my sparkly fingers. It makes me feel alive.

Where Is He Now?

Sandy’s new owner, Samantha, sent us an update, and it looks like he’s adjusting to dorm life quite nicely!

Samantha’s been helping him practice his dance moves, and we can’t wait to see his improvements firsthand (send us a video)!

When Sandy’s not busy dancing, he’s been watching a lot of Grey’s Anatomy and hanging out with his new friend, Senor Sparkles (Austin College marketing major/large pink unicorn). Their relationship status is unclear at this time.

Congratulations on your new life, Sandy!
