About Sydney

Sydney is a gentle, shy little pup looking for a fresh start after coming out of a crowded, overwhelming environment. She’s around 17 lbs and, as a young Jack Russell Terrier mix, has a short coat and a delicate frame. Sydney tends to be a bit timid at first, taking some time to warm up in new settings, but she does come around with calm encouragement. Her ideal home is quiet, likely best with older kids, since she’s both fragile and on the shy side. Once Sydney settles in, you can expect her to open up and be grateful for stability and care in her new life. She’s currently still in Alabama but will be making her way to Maine soon.
