She’s keen on walks and can’t resist a good game of fetch, especially if there’s a favorite toy involved. While she gets along with some other dogs, Sissy definitely prefers being the center of attention and isn’t interested in sharing the spotlight with cats or kids. She’s all about her people and is quick to warm up once she’s had time to build trust. Sissy’s past involved long stretches outside and trying to fend for herself, so new situations can feel daunting. With patience, though, she forms deep bonds and makes a loyal friend. Recently spayed, she’s put her puppy-raising days behind her and is ready to enjoy a calm home where she can soak up affection and relax indoors, safe at last. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
