Sierra is a 5 year old (best guess) Schnauzer/Poodle/Terrier mix. She is spayed, up to date on shots, and she weighs around 30lbs. She also had a dental cleaning recently. She was pulled from a local shelter a couple of hours before she was scheduled to be euthanized. She was identified as a stray. Sierra is fostered in Dunkirk, MD.
Sierra is a little soft teddy bear! She will need to be groomed regularly.
Sierra is a friendly pup that craves attention and wants to be near her people as much as possible. She just wants love, love, and love all day. She will demand the attention like a little Diva!
Sierra gets along with the resident dog; most of the time, she just ignores him.
Sierra does not play much and is not interested in treats, but we are working on it with her.
Her medical history is unknown to us, but she did have two benign mammary tumors removed. Sierra had seizures after being spayed, and she now takes medicine twice a day. We put the pill in her food, and she eats it without issues. Sierra is currently eating wet food only. She needs a family that understands her medical needs, but please don't let this scare you away! Sierra is doing amazing on her medication.
Sierra is house-trained, is easy on leash and sleeps on the bed with her foster parents and resident dog. She sleeps through the night.
She wants to go for *walkies* and loves to be outside. She does not pull and walks well on a leash; she takes her walks very seriously and walks steady like she's on the job. A family with a fenced yard would be ideal for Sierra, as this would alleviate the need to take her out frequently.
Sierra is being fostered with two children (8 and 6 year old). She does well with kids, but does not interact with them other than when she wants pets and to snuggle. Therefore, there should not be an expectation that she will play with kids from the get go.
She also does well with cats and is non reactive on walks.
