About Sidney

Sidney, a charming 12-year-old Dachshund mix, has a delightful spirit that's defied her age. With a coat of tricolor fur and a frosted muzzle, this petite companion weighing 15 lbs fits perfectly on a lap during a cozy evening at home. While she enjoys lazy afternoons nestled beside you on the couch, Sidney still has bursts of playful energy that shine through during her zoomies or short walks. This affectionate girl is known for her loving nature, quickly bonding with her humans, and greeting everyone—be it the resident cat or a toddler—with warmth. Although she thrives on companionship, she can be a bit jealous of attention and would be happiest in a home where she doesn’t have to share the spotlight too often. An only-dog situation would suit her best, but with a proper introduction, she may get along well with a compatible furry sibling. Sidney is fully house trained and loves her cozy sleeping area. While she’s still mastering the art of doggie steps, she shines as a considerate companion and would prefer a home where someone is around more often. Those who work from home or have a flexible routine will find Sidney to be a loyal shadow. If you are seeking a loving companion with a hint of puppy spirit and a knack for cuddling, Sidney may just be your newest friend. Don’t let her age fool you; this girl is ready to fill your life with joy. Click apply to start the adoption process.
