Story
My name is Sara and I’m looking for my forever home. I am a tiny 3-yr-old – only 12 lbs. I’ve lived in Olathe, KS, with my foster family since SIRA rescued me from a commercial breeding facility. Things were bad there, but life is great now! The fenced yard here is my happy place! I love to run fast, play with the other dogs, or just roll around on the ground. I’m also a garden helper. I’ll wrestle with the garden hose when it gets unruly and dig new holes for you in the garden bed. When I’m happy, my tail gets wiggly and I have an adorable play-bounce! I love toys – the bigger the better! My favorite is a giant carrot that I drag around. I collect toys, so, if you're looking for one, you’ll probably find it in my crate. I like taking walks with the other dogs and I’m well-behaved on leash. When I’m inside, I like quiet, private spots, like my crate. But I’m always excited to see my foster family when they come home. There's so much good food here! Where I came from there wasn’t enough to eat. My foster family uses snuffle mats, slow-feeder bowls and puzzle toys so I don’t gobble too fast. If I think dinner is late, I scratch the empty puzzle toy to tell them! I was shy at first, but now I trust my foster family. I approach when I want to be petted or brushed, which feels so nice. I'm cautious of strangers and will bark and keep my distance at first. But I am curious and love to watch what they're doing. I have not met any cats or human kids. My ideal forever home will be patient as I learn to trust. I am very sweet, but maybe not a cuddler. I’d love another friendly dog to learn from and a securely fenced yard. I’m not fond of commotion or being startled, so a quiet, calm home without little kids would be best. When I was first rescued, I went to a big shelter. I was so scared there that I had seizures! I haven’t had any since coming to my foster home. Despite my rough past, I am healthy - spayed and vaccinated.
