About Siren

Lets make it official, apply to adopt! Siren is a calm, gentle, and quiet girl who made her way to the rescue from rural Kentucky. When she first arrived, it was clear she hadn’t experienced much human contact, but with time and patience, she has gradually found her confidence and blossomed into a more self-assured companion, though she still has room to grow. She’s believed to be a mixed breed, possibly with Beagle and Heeler in her background, weighing around 32 lbs and born in January 2021. Her beautiful golden and white, short coat adds to her endearing appearance. Siren enjoys being around other calm dogs in her foster home and prefers a serene environment, as sudden sounds or rapid movements can still startle her. With continued support and steady companionship, her confidence is expected to keep building. A peaceful home with adults, or older children respectful of animals, would be ideal for Siren. She would thrive with a calm, perhaps older canine companion and benefits from having a secure, fenced yard. Siren is up to date on vaccinations, spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and on year-round heartworm prevention. She is also believed to be housebroken. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
