About Sheba

Sheba is curious and enjoys getting out to explore, but meeting new people or going to unfamiliar places usually makes her a bit cautious at first. She appreciates patience: given a little time and space, she starts to relax and will happily share her affection. Her comfort zone is an adult or teen household—rowdy children aren’t really her speed. With Sheba’s active side and willingness to bond once she settles in, she’ll make a rewarding companion for someone looking for a loyal friend who reveals her personality in her own time. Fun fact: Sheba is a Virgo, born in early September, which might be why she’s observant and thoughtful about new experiences. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
