General information

Sienna is gentle and a bit shy. She would get startled by big sudden movements, but would never attack people. She is highly obedient, and can follow commands such as "sit' and "wait." She loves to be clean, and would not go potty inside the house. She is also very stable with the leash or in a car. Sienna loves to eat, so giving her food is a good way to taking a first step to getting close to her. Once she knows you are friendly, she would love to stay close to you.

Sienna really is one of those "therapy" dogs. She is sweet, and would keep you company when you feel down and troubled. She also loves people and would accompany you on walks and journeys. With a dog companion like Sienna, your life will be more colorful and filled with joy.

Rescue Story

When Sienna was a mere pup, she wandered alone on the streets, without a roof on her head, and certainly without loving parents to protect her. When hungry, she had to find food for herself, and at times, she would meet gangs of unfriendly dogs who would attack her while vying for food. Since she did not know how to protect herself, she would frequently go hungry.

When the weather was cold and wet, she would seek shelter under eaves on the roadside. Craving for human contact, she would try to get close to people, but frequently would be chased away by those who were not friendly to dogs. Her life had been very rough, without any love and care, but ample bullying by other strays. Then, fate dealt her another blow: she was captured by a dog catcher and was sent to the pound, waiting to be destroyed.

Luckily, on the eve of her "date", she was saved from death by some volunteer who renamed her Sienna, hoping that a new name would bring her a new beginning.
