About Sienna

Sienna spent months surviving on scraps in a rough area of Houston with her puppy before she was finally rescued by a concerned group. When found, she was malnourished and missing patches of fur, but since coming into care she’s made real strides—her coat is growing back well, she’s putting on healthy weight, and she’s undergoing heartworm treatment that’s expected to leave her in the clear soon. Through everything, Sienna has proven herself a resilient and upbeat dog who loves people and lights up at playtime. She gets along well with other dogs and her calm personality makes her a good fit for many homes. Sienna is located in TOMBALL, TX, but transport can be coordinated for the right home. A portion of her adoption fee covers her ride to you if you are out of the area. Ready to make it official? Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
