My name is Sister!

You know how you’ve all been chatting amongst yourselves, subtly wishing we'd start taking in small dogs because, let’s face it, big dogs are just too much? Too much fur, too much slobber, too much personality(and honestly, I’d bet a small dog has way more personality than any big dog, but I digress). Well, guess what—you thought it, and we heard you. And because we’re all about fulfilling dreams (or making questionable decisions), we’ve delivered. Meet the tiniest, fluffiest little diva you never knew you needed: Sister! Yes, she’s small enough to fit in your lap but still has the same attitude as a Pyr, so… good luck with that.

Sister is a 6-week-old female Schnauzer mix, and she weighs—hold on, are you sitting down?—a whopping 3lbs. That’s right, three pounds. Not 30, not even close to polar bear status. A full 3lbs, which, yes, technically means she could fit in your purse, but don’t get too excited—she might also just vanish into the abyss of your handbag, never to be seen again. Sister is your typical confident little puppy who’s convinced the entire world is her audience. She thinks everyone, and every dog (no exceptions), is just dying to meet her. And since she’s so secure in her tiny greatness, she loves every dog she meets. As for kids—well, she was visited by some pros, and, shocker, she thought they were pretty awesome too. She’s not shy, just...selectively obsessed with everyone. Now, cats? Well, Sister hasn't met one yet, but considering that even the cats might be bigger than her at this point, we imagine she’ll give them some adorable puppy yips, then sprint off like she’s in a race. Probably running into your legs in the process. Sister is desperate to be loved by absolutely everyone she meets. Seriously, she’s all about that life. At this point, she’s perfectly content being scooped up and held all day long, like a tiny, fluffy accessory you didn’t know you needed.

If you're wondering what Sister's energy level is like, well, she's a puppy. So imagine a chipmunk that accidentally chugged a double shot of espresso, then a squirrel that went a little too hard at an all-you-can-eat nut buffet and promptly passed out. In other words, she’s an absolute whirlwind, going go go go, then crashing into nap nap nap mode. It's a vibe. As long as she's with her people, Sister is always down for an adventure! Now, keep in mind, she’s got tiny legs, so she’s not exactly setting speed records. Actually, scratch that—small dogs can really run when they feel like it. So, let’s be real: while she might not have the stamina to keep up with your marathon goals, just throw a chest harness on her and voilà—you’ll be the talk of the neighborhood when you stroll around the corner with your mini adventure buddy strapped to your chest. Everyone will be all “aww!” while you get to pretend you're some sort of puppy-wearing fashion icon. I’m guessing she’s the adventurous type—definitely more into exploring than just lazing around the house. Stick her in a new room, and she’ll be off sniffing the floor like she’s investigating the next big mystery. If she had another playful dog or some interactive humans (aka kids) to keep her entertained, she’d probably be content to hang at home. But if your idea of exercise is walking to the mailbox and back... well, you might want to pass on this little dynamo. She’s a puppy, so all it takes is a good game of tug and a meal to knock her out for a nap—so at least you’ve got that going for you!

Sister is alert and aware—you know, like a little fuzzy spy on a mission to be involved in everything. I’m pretty sure she’ll demand to be an active participant in family life, and by "active," I mean you’re going to hear her opinion on just about everything. Her favorite things? Oh, just her mom, being carried around like the royal she is, and, of course, her bed—because what’s life without the perfect napping spot? As for where she’d thrive best, well, she's a puppy, so it’s easy to imagine Sister being perfectly content in pretty much any situation as long as there’s cuddling, food, and the occasional adventure (or nap, let’s be real). A securely fenced yard? Sure, why not. An apartment? Absolutely, as long as you’re okay with her being everywhere in it. A home with no fence but regular leash walks? That’ll work too, but you better be ready for her to make it clear she has places to go and people to see.

So, what are the dealbreakers for adopting Sister, you ask? Well, let’s start with the obvious: if you’re not interested in potty training her, please do us both a favor and look elsewhere. She’s not going to magically learn to use the toilet just because you’ve been binge-watching Marie Kondo on Netflix. Also, if you’re one of those people who thinks dogs should never leave the house and “socializing” is just a cute word for “Netflix and chill with your dog,” Sister’s definitely not for you. This little explorer has places to go and people to meet, even if those people are just the mailman and the neighbor’s cat who’s way too cool for her. And if your house looks like a tornado of belongings, but you’re still wondering why your shoes and favorite bag have mysteriously disappeared... well, surprise! Sister probably found them and decided they were better suited for her teeth. She’s not a hoarder, just a very curious puppy.
Oh, and let’s not forget her stealthy ability to play hide-and-seek, whether you’re ready for it or not. If you can’t handle a puppy who might just disappear under the couch or into a laundry basket for a quick snooze, you might want to reconsider. She’s tiny, but her sneaky game is on point. If you're okay with playing "Where's Waldo?" every time you think she’s missing, then you’ll be just fine.

Alright, folks, listen up—if you’re brave enough to take on this tiny, adorable ball of energy, we strongly encourage you to fill out the adoption application. Trust us, Sister is ready to take on the world (or at least your living room), and we want to make sure she’s in the right hands. Once you fill out the app at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app, we’ll send it over to her foster family, and they’ll get to see if you’re worthy of her royal highness. Now, let’s talk logistics—Sister is currently chilling in Broken Arrow, OK, so you’ll need to make the trek to pick her up. Oh, and just a heads-up—she’s not ready to pack up and leave until around March 16th. So, fill out the application, get your game face on, and get ready to be the most amazing puppy parent to the fluffiest little adventurer around!
