Sugar spent several days alone in a field before she was finally brought to safety by animal control. Now, she’s searching for a family that can offer real security and a second chance. Sugar is a striking medium-sized mix, likely part Chow, Shiba Inu, and Shepherd, but she might have a mysterious family tree. Her rich, red-gold coat and soulful eyes catch attention, hinting at both her resilience and her longing for kindness. Sugar is about two years old, weighing just under 50 lbs, and though she might act distant at first—especially with some men—she will warm up if given time and space. Once she trusts you, she showers affection and isn’t shy about kisses. Sugar can be reactive to other dogs, particularly behind fences or when leashed around barkers, so she will need a patient adopter willing to work on building her confidence and manners through training and desensitization. Her rough start has made her clingy and anxious at times, so she needs a dedicated, gentle approach to rebuild trust. Sugar does not get along with dogs or children and will need a home that can honor her boundaries and give her a calm environment. Sugar is in Westfield, NY, and potential adopters must be able to travel to meet her in person. Give Sugar the space and patience she needs, and she’ll show you just how loving she can be. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
