Story
MEET SYLVIE
Name: Sylvie
Age: 3 years old
Sex: Spayed Female
Breed: Poodle
Colour: Silver
Weight: 4.5 kg (9.9 lbs)
Height: 30 cm (11.8 in) at the shoulder
RESCUE STORY
Sylvie was found wandering around an apartment complex for two days before she was reported and brought to a municipal shelter. Sadly, she was later placed on the euthanasia list, and that’s when she was rescued and given another chance.
PERSONALITY & PEOPLE
Sylvie can be a little shy with new people at first, but treats are a quick way to win her over! She will take treats from strangers and usually warms up fairly quickly, allowing them to pet her.
Once she feels comfortable with someone, she becomes much more expressive and likes to follow her person around. She may even bark to get your attention when she wants you to notice her. Interestingly, although she enjoys being close to her people, she can still seem a little awkward when someone tries to cuddle or pet her. She can be safely picked up by supporting her under the belly.
WITH OTHER DOGS
Sylvie will approach unfamiliar dogs to say hello, but she generally isn’t interested in playing or interacting much beyond that. She prefers dogs around her own size or smaller and does not appreciate dogs that are overly persistent, bothersome, or much larger than she is.
Overall, she tends to mind her own business and shows very little interest in other dogs.
WITH CATS
Sylvie’s reaction to cats has not yet been observed. A cat test can be arranged if needed.
ENERGY LEVEL
Sylvie has a moderate energy level. She enjoys spending time outdoors and going for walks, but once she has had her activity, she settles down nicely and is happy to relax.
WALKS
Sylvie tends to walk while looking to and relying on her handler for guidance. She can react to sudden noises or the sound of passing cars, but she is manageable and walks well in quieter areas.
AT HOME & OTHER BEHAVIOUR
Sylvie does not show food guarding toward either people or other dogs.
She does tend to bark when separated from people, so separation anxiety may be something her adopter needs to be prepared to work through, particularly during the adjustment period in a new home.
When placed in a kennel, she may whine initially but generally settles once she realizes it’s time to rest.
Sylvie currently uses pee pads indoors and also eliminates outdoors.
Sylvie is a sweet little girl who may need a little time to get comfortable at first, but once she knows you, she’ll happily follow you around and make sure you don’t forget she’s there. She would do best with an adopter who can give her patience, consistency, and time to adjust to her new life.
