Sissy was see being dumped by a woman on a rural road with her sister, a beagle mix, and a yorkie. They were terrified and Sissy and Sassy were only about 4 months old at the time. It took me all day to find and catch all 4 of them. Sissy is about 7-8 months old now and weighs around 30 lbs or less. She hasn't grown in a while so I think she is full grown now. She appears to be a heeler mix and her sister looks just like her too. She is great with other dogs and with cats. She is a bit more on the independent side and doesn't crave lots of attention from her human but does enjoy receiving it when attention and kisses are given to her. She loves water and romping in the woods. She follows like a champ off leash and does well in a crate too. She will be a great adventure buddy to someone lucky.
She is currently still in Oklahoma where she was rescued but she can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. She has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take her in or she will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found.
