Story
Sydney is a beautiful, smart, gentle and sweet girl. She is very loving, playful, eager to please, and house-trained. She has a very short tail and when she sees someone she loves, her whole body wiggles in delight! She likes to snuggle up with you on the couch and adores belly rubs. She is intelligent and quickly learned the names of her various toys and often figures out what you want her to do before you even ask. She loves to be outside in the yard with her person and her canine buddy, and enjoys walks in the neighborhood, but it's the walks in the woods she really loves. She wants to be your friend and do everything you ask, but sometimes the world is a little too scary for her. She can be a little slow to warm up to new people and likes to have a "safe space" all her own. She is cautiously happy to meet most people, but she is generally a little more timid with men. She has had very limited exposure, but she seems to be fine with children. She was initially merely shy with the cat in her foster home. Recently, the cat was having a bad week and unfortunately lashed out at Sydney several times, so Sydney has become fearful of the cat; we are not sure if that means she will be fearful of all cats now. She is initially timid around most dogs, but would probably do well sharing a home with a confident, playful dog, and as shown in the videos, once she's comfortable with another dog, she loves to run and play! Sydney was rescued by HART after being surrendered to a shelter, we don't know where she lived before that. She has made steady progress coming out of her shell, but will need someone experienced with anxious dogs and who will be very patient and loving with her.
