Pet of the Week 

Stu News Newport is delighted to be working with the Newport Beach Animal Shelter to help get the word out in search of loving homes for pets that deserve a warm, nurturing environment and a place to call “home.”

Meet Sandy, sister puppy to Kira. At her very young age of approximately 5 months, she has found herself spending time as a Newport Beach Animal Shelter baby pet guest. As a shepherd mix, her young dreams are to run and play all day (with a little nap in the middle, of course). Sandy is a bit more docile than her sister and will do best in a home with a gentle, patient, committed training style. Sandy will probably grow to be a medium- to large-sized dog and her absolute best attribute, besides being a golden brown teddy bear, is that she is so sweet. Sandy is being made available for adoption, so they invite kind, stable, generous in love, active, adventure-filled adopters, that choose dogs to be family members, to contact them at either 949.718.3454, or by email at This email address is being protected from spambots.

In addition, they have a great new professional photographer who is donating her time to help the shelter get the best out of their pet guests. They invite you to visit Andrea Domjan’s IG page at @andrea_domjan_photography to see all of her fabulous photography that she shares with the world. 

The shelter does require completed application forms for their animals, so simply print one up from their non-profit’s webpage at www.FONBAS.org. After it is completed, you can email it to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., and upon review, they’ll call you to schedule an appointment. If you have any questions, call 949.718.3454.
