About Sydney F

Sydney is a playful, loving mixed-breed pup with an endless love for toys. She proudly collects them, carries them everywhere, and lights up whenever she finds a new favorite squeaker. Sydney thrives around other dogs, especially those with her high-spirited energy—she warms up faster with a playful companion who can show her the ropes. As the runt of her litter, she was bottle-fed from thirteen days old, but she's grown into a healthy and affectionate young dog. She’s fully potty trained, knows the doggie door, walks nicely on leash, and is a pro in the car. Sydney does not get along with cats, but she enjoys being around sturdy, playful pups and is great with children who will appreciate her goofy, devoted personality. Mealtime is a highlight for her, often prompting a bouncy happy dance. Sydney is looking for a home—or foster—where she can keep learning, keep playing, and find her people. A fenced yard is a must for her daily adventures, and obedience training is required. If you're seeking a smart, affectionate, toy-obsessed young dog in Tampa, FL, Sydney is ready to start her next adventure with you. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
