Story
Please contact Sue Caley (suec@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweet, sweet small senior girl seeking love SISSY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Come meet Sissy and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (April 21st) from 12-3 pm at the Petsmart in Falls Church (6100A Arlington Blvd, Falls Church, VA 22044)! Name: Sissy Best Guess for Breed: Shih tzu and Yorkie mix Best Guess for Age: 14 years as of September 2023 SEX: Female Approximate Weight: 8.6 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs. We haven't seen her with kids or cats but she can be tested Currently Living at: DC area home Special adoption considerations: Sissy was treated for symptoms caused by dry eye and we think she is possibly blind. She may be deaf as well; we are not sure yet. (She is a very recent arrival in the DC area).Because she has some sensory loss, she startles easily. Due to this, she may not go to a home with children under the age of 12; she needs a calmer environment. Sissy is Looking For: Sissy's owner loved her very, very much but unfortunately was no longer able to continue taking care of her. Sissy is just so sweet and wants only to be loved once again. A warm lap or sitting out in the fresh air, snuggles, being told she's such a good girl - those will make her world complete once again. And she has so much sweetness to bring to her new humans' world. Are you Sissy's soft landing? What My Foster Says About Me: Sissy is a sweet senior girl. She is looking for her forever person to take her on slow walks, lounge with her on the sofa and be by her side! She is great with dogs and truly has the sweetest disposition! She sleeps through the night in her crate with her blankets and bed and really likes to sleep in in the mornings! She wakes about 8:30am and then likes to head outside for potty. Her new person will need to look for her cues like when she wakes and when she finds her way to the potty door; she is not fully potty trained in that she will hold it until you figure out she needs to go. She is blind and does not hear, but even without those senses she is communicative and really finds her way around well with some guidance. Sissy is the total tiny package! Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
