About Sid

Sid is currently on the lookout for someone to fill the very exclusive role of "His Person." Affection isn't given away freely; he believes trust is earned, and you must first pass his vibe check. Once you've gained his approval, you’ll find yourself with a tiny, scruffy shadow, fiercely loyal and completely devoted. This adorable little guy is full of personality and charm. He enjoys the company of other dogs and does well with cats in his foster home. Sid is house trained, crate trained, and takes his role as a sofa occupier very seriously. If you settle in next to him on the couch, you might need to negotiate for your spot. Quirky, funny, and expressive, Sid has a permanent "excuse me?" face that will keep you entertained. He isn't looking for a bustling household full of strangers wanting instant cuddles. Instead, he seeks a patient human who appreciates his character and boundaries. Building this relationship takes time, but trust us; Sid is well worth it. His adoption fee is $300, covering neuter, vaccinations, parasite prevention, and a microchip.
