Sidney's Story

Apply to Adopt Me!<br/><br/>Sydney needs a very special home.<br/><br/>Sydney is about 3 years old and 8 lbs., and one of the most sensitive dogs our trainer has ever I’ve worked with. This chihuahua mix came in as an extreme fear case, completely terrified of leashes and the outside world. Because of that, he missed out on critical socialization and has a lot of catching up to do. The good news—he’s already making progress. Sydney is now:<br/><br/>• Walking nicely on a leash<br/><br/>• Comfortable in a crate (takes daily naps in there)<br/><br/>• Learning how to exist around other dogs. He does like other dogs, but he’s still too fearful to fully engage.<br/><br/>He’s currently learning from a well-balanced pack, which is exactly what he needs to build confidence. He does mark in the house right now, so he’s wearing a belly band as we work through it. Sydney is a MAJOR flight risk and will require a very specific home. Because of this, Lil Rascals Dog Rescue will be extremely selective with his placement. Sydney has so much potential—but he needs someone patient, structured and committed to continuing his progress. He also needs a confident companion dog around his size to help him thrive. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect home for Sidney, complete an app and tell us more about your family.
