Story
Helloooo! My name is Sugar, and once I feel safe and settled, I absolutely live up to my name. I can take a little time to warm up to new places and new people, but give me a moment and you’ll see my soft, affectionate side come shining through.My story started a little rough. I was found living outdoors with my sister, learning how to survive on my own alongside a creek in Texas. Because of that, I can be a bit cautious at first, but I’ve come a long way and am learning that the world isn’t such a scary place anymore.These days, my ideal afternoon looks a lot less “survival mode” and a lot more “picnic blanket and pets.” I love stretching out in the grass, rolling around, and soaking up attention from my favorite people. I’m gentle, sweet, and will happily lean in for more love—sometimes even reaching out to keep the pets coming.I’m a nice walking buddy and enjoy getting out to explore at my own pace. New things can still surprise me (honking geese were…a lot), so I’m looking for a home that will help me build confidence and take things slow when I need it. I ride great in the car and settle in nicely once I’m comfortable.I’m also a smart girl! I already know cues like sit, stay, shake, and down, and I’m very food-motivated—which means I’m eager and ready to keep learning with you.I’ve lived with other dogs before and would really benefit from having a confident dog friend in my new home to help show me the ropes. I’ve also been around cats—if they run, I might think it’s a game, but I’ve never shown any aggression.One thing to know about me: I can be a little protective of my favorite toys, food, or cozy spaces when other dogs are around. I do great with people, though—no worries there. With some thoughtful management and continued training, I’ll keep improving.I’m house-trained, kennel-trained, and happiest when I’m close to my people. More than anything, I just want to feel safe, loved, and understood.If you’re looking for a gentle, resilient girl who just needs a little patience to blossom into the sweetest companion, I might be your SugarMedical History: I appear to be a healthy pup, but it`s always a good idea to set up an appointment with your vet soon after adoption so we can meet each other!Weight: ~ 44lbsRestrictions: Only Teens or older. Would like to go home with another dog, but this is not a requirement. Must be fed separately from other dogs. No cats.
