Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Sissy is a sweet, gentle, playful little girl. She enjoys being outside in the yard exploring and observing everything going on around her and laying in the sun. She loves to play with the other small dogs in her foster home. A fenced in yard would be best for Sissy allowing her to go in/out independently to do her business. She enjoys going on walks, she is potty trained, and loves playing and chewing on toys. It will be important to have another small dog in Sissy’s forever home so she continues to learn to trust people and build her confidence. Sissy is not aggressive; she is just cautious when meeting new people and it is important to let her settle in on her timeline. Once she trusts you, Sissy does enjoy a good rub and likes to join you on the couch. Now that she trusts us, one of her favorite times of day is when she is allowed up on our bed in the morning with our dogs where she gets lots of love and rubs! She will lay on top of you and nudge your hand for more rubs. Sissy doesn’t care to be picked up but if you pick her up, she will allow you to put on a harness and leashes for a walk and she will stay in your lap for some petting. With patience, time, and the influence of her small furry siblings, Sissy’s confidence has grown daily! Sissy’s sweet playful side shines through every day! She would be a wonderful companion for another small playful dog. She currently lives with small dogs and adults. She is respectful when another dog doesn’t want to play. Energetic large dogs and small kids make her nervous. Older respectful teenage children should be okay. A large dog that is quiet and low keyed should be fine with slow introductions. A quieter household without a lot of visitors would make Sissy most comfortable. If you are looking for a sweet, gentle, even-tempered dog who’d love to play with your small dog then Sissy may be your girl. Everyday she shows us what a wonderful girl she is blossoming into! It will be important to be patient with her to earn her trust, to have a quieter home with no young kids or high energy large dogs. Sissy would be fine hanging out in another room with a “safe space” if young kids visited. A fenced in yard would be the perfect home for Sissy. Fill out an application, I’d love to tell you about this sweet girl! Sissy is from Texas. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
