Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Sissy is a sweet, gentle, and playful girl. She enjoys exploring the outdoors and she loves to run and 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 and is learning to walk well on a leash. Sissy travels quietly in the car. She enjoys playing and chewing on toys, and she loves to collect them in her bed! It will be important to have a confident small dog in Sissy’s forever home to help her continue to learn to trust people. Sissy is cautious when meeting new people and it is important to let her settle in on her own timeline. Despite her cautiousness, Sissy's not aggressive, she’s just timid when it comes to new human interaction. Sissy does enjoy a good rub when she trusts you. Now that she trusts us, one of her favorite times of the day is when she’s allowed up on our bed in the morning with all our dogs where she can get lots of love and rubs, and cuddles in next to all of us. She will nudge your hand for more rubs! With patience, time, and the influence of her small furry siblings, Sissy's confidence is growing daily. Having a home where someone can be around more often would allow Sissy the time and exposure to her people for her to learn to trust them quicker. In her present foster home, Sissy took a couple weeks to feel comfortable to allow her foster parents to give her rubs. After a few weeks she started following us around the house, and after a month she started greeting us at the door when we came home. She now will join me up on the couch for rubs and cuddle in next to me. Her sweet playful side shines every day! Sissy would be a wonderful companion for another small playful dog. Sissy currently lives with small dogs and adults. Energetic large dogs and young children make her very nervous. Older respectful teenage children may be okay, but young children scare her. A larger dog that is low key and quiet may be okay with slow introductions. A quieter household with not a lot of visitors would make Sissy most comfortable. If you are looking for a playful companion for your small dog, and a girl who’s sweet, gentle, quiet, and even tempered then Sissy may be the girl for you. Every day she shows us what a wonderful girl she is blossoming into! It will be important to be patient with her to earn her trust, and to have a quieter home with no young kids, and no high energy large dogs. Sissy would be fine hanging out in another room in the house with a “safe place” if young kids visited. A fenced in yard would be the perfect home for Sissy.
