Sienna is currently in a foster home. If you would like to meet her, please start by visiting www.sccrescue.org and completing an application. Sienna is a sun-warmed desert bloom—soft, resilient, and quietly radiant. At around 2 years old, this beautiful Australian Shepherd mix has already raised her pups with care, and now she’s ready to step into her next chapter. Like a calm oasis after a long journey, she brings a gentle, grounding presence wherever she goes. Completely house trained, Sienna will trot to the back door to let you know it’s time, and she’s already picking up on daily routines with impressive ease—this girl is as smart as she is sweet. In her foster home, Sienna is settling in like shifting sands finding their place. She may take a few minutes to relax in her crate, but once she does, she rests peacefully sleeping there through the night and making great progress with any separation jitters. During the day, she’s your loyal little shadow, following you from room to room and curling up beside you on the couch for sun-drenched naps. She’s not much of a player just yet, preferring affection over toys, but her curiosity shows in her love for walks and sniffing the world around her like a desert breeze carrying new scents. Sienna’s temperament is as easygoing as a quiet desert dusk. She’s indifferent to other dogs, respectful of cats, and warmly interested in meeting new people—especially if they come bearing pets. She knows “sit” and “paw,” takes treats gently (fish-flavored only for her sensitive tummy), and shows no signs of resource guarding. While she’s still learning not to greet with little jumps, her gentle nature shines through in everything she does. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will be your constant, calming presence—like a steady horizon—Sienna is ready to be your heart’s home. We love our dogs. We want happy lives for all of them and are looking for the home that provides the best fit for each dog’s individual needs. Please understand that there may be multiple families interested in this dog. Also, please know that the breed mix listed is simply a guess. In most cases, we don’t know their background. We encourage you to base your decision on individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on our guess. Please understand, we only adopt our animals out near the Chicagoland area.
