I have been through a few names -Dolly, Moxie to name a few, but finally SYBIL stuck. It goes with my enigmatic personality: Cautious, approaching slowly, even shy. Sudden abrupt movements send me flying to a safe place. But when it comes to food I quickly drop my caution and slowly follow the scent.. So much so that I cannot be trusted off leash out back when I get a whiff of food from a neighborhood kitchen window. I am a foodie! I hear this is common in ex strays who have grown up hungry, in search of food..
I was cast away, living in a neighborhood near Goldsboro NC. Until I was caught and taken to the shelter. The ACO at the shelter saved my life. I was in a bad shape, coat falling off in patches, she kept me in the back until a rescue took me and sent me north to a foster home.
To make things worse I was heartworm positive. And possibly low in thyroid hormone. This was 2 years ago, I am now about 3 years old, and boy what a difference. My heartworms have passed on, my coat has grown back, my thyroid works just fine without medication, and my passion is food.
Best estimate of my breed mix is part Schnauzer (rough coat on top of dark grey skin, terrier ears) and part white fluffer , sort of Bichon Frise, you get the idea.
I am a perfect companion if I may say so myself.. I learn fast, do anything for praise and a treat. Watchful and will bark when alarmed, but not excessively. I get along wonderfully with other dogs, any kind! Actually I function as peacemaker should there be a squabble, by remaining calm and unaffected by the excitement.
I am now here on the web, not because I have to leave, but because there might just be someone searching for a dog like me and I would be the match. There is a person for every dog and a dog for every person, just needs a little luck and matchmakers..
