About Sissy

Sissy is a sweet 6-month-old hound and foxhound mix who came into rescue with her siblings after they were found severely underweight and neglected.

She’s playful and affectionate, showing an easygoing, loving personality that would fit right in with just about any household. Sissy gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children—she’s a friendly addition wherever she goes. Her adoption covers all her vet care, including a spay, puppy shots, microchip, and preventative medications, plus she’ll head home with some new gear and treats to help her settle in.
