About Sierra

Meet Sierra, a lovely 6-year-old Retriever mix with a stunning red coat. She found her way to us as a stray back in August 2022 near the Palm Springs windmills and has been patiently waiting for someone special to take her home. Sierra is affectionate and loyal to those she trusts. Once you’re in her inner circle, expect a companion who loves sharing walks, playtime, and indulging in natural chews. An active adopter or someone with a yard would suit her best, giving her space to enjoy her day to the fullest. While she walks well on a leash and knows commands like sit and paw, she may be cautious around strangers, making an adult-only home or one with older children ideal. Sierra does get along well with some dogs, particularly males, so a meet and greet would be important if you have another pup at home. After years of waiting for her fresh start, she seeks someone patient and understanding, ready to welcome her into their lives as a loyal companion. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
