About Sylvia Fostered in

Meet Sylvia. This sweet, petite 8-year-old Beagle has a gentle heart and a calm demeanor. She thrives on companionship and enjoys being near her favorite people. Whether lounging on the bed or taking leisurely walks around the backyard, she finds joy in the simple moments of life. Sylvia gets along well with other dogs and is generally friendly with children, making her a delightful family companion. Sylvia does have one important consideration: she experiences situational anxiety, which has led to her being returned after previous adoptions. Her current calm foster home allows her to flourish, and she truly needs a peaceful and predictable environment to thrive. Though she has had a few seizures in the past, a thorough veterinary evaluation showed no underlying issues, and her vet recommends keeping a stress-free atmosphere for her well-being. At around 20 pounds, she’s the perfect size for cozy cuddles. Sylvia is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and she walks nicely on a leash. She's crate trained and mostly potty trained, with the occasional indoor accident that can be managed with a pee pad. Sylvia is currently fostered in SE Nebraska and may be available for meet-and-greets with approved adopters traveling partway. If you seek a loyal companion to share life’s quiet moments with, Sylvia is ready to reward your kindness with love. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
