About Sybbie aka Sybil: Not

Meet Sybbie, a spirited five-year-old mini-Australian Shepherd. Her previous family found it challenging to meet her high energy needs after welcoming two toddlers into their home. Currently in a foster home, Sybbie thrives with companionship and play. This loyal girl loves to fetch a tennis ball and will bring it right back to you. She’s making great strides in training, learning to control her instinct to chase after cars and even the vacuum cleaner. While she has a strong herding instinct, which makes her too rough for cats, she enjoys the company of other dogs and plays well with them. Sybbie would do well in a home where her energetic personality can shine. She is looking for a patient adopter ready to embrace her quirks. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
