Sierra

Sierra's Story<br/><br/>Sierra is a sweet girl with a gorgeous brindle coat and adorable spotted paws! She was born in 10/2022 and currently weighs 35#. Sierra was adopted from us as a puppy but has been recently returned due to her family not being able to provide the life she deserves.<br/><br/>Here are some notes from her fostermom:<br/><br/>Sierra loves to go for walks and play fetch. She has been great with our small dogs. She also did well while being boarded. She got along with all of the other dogs, and she even did great with the dog experienced cats! Sierra enjoys cuddling on the couch with my husband and teenage children. She sleeps peacefully in the crate through the night, and crates easily during the day when we leave the house.<br/><br/>Sierra appears to be potty trained. She hasn't asked to be let out, but we let our dogs out regularly to go potty and haven't had any issues. The person who cared for her while we were on vacation also reported that Sierra had no accidents while staying with her. Sierra isn't super food motivated, but she will sometimes take higher value treats while working on her sit and down. <br/><br/>Sierra has a calm personality unless she is playing or scared. She is very gentle with our 8 lb terrier mix and our 12 lb papillon mix. Sierra needs a fully fenced backyard where she can safely run and play.<br/><br/>Sierra has shown some fear of strangers coming into our home, but we are working on that. She barks and tries to run away, but with patience and treats, she learns that strangers can be okay. Sierra needs someone who can guide her through new experiences and situations that may be overwhelming or scary for her. Because of this, if we have a bunch of new people over, I will crate her so she feels safe or keep her on a leash with me, so I can guide her and advocate for her as needed.<br/><br/>I think it is possible that Sierra could do great around children, but I feel that she should not live with young children because she is part Australian Cattle Dog and has some herding instincts. <br/><br/>Recently, we took Sierra to Petco and TJ Maxx. She did great! She walked nicely through the store and waited patiently in line with us.<br/><br/>Sierra is a great dog who deserves a loving home with owners as devoted to her as she is to them.<br/><br/>Please email right away if you would like to learn more about this dog......and visit our website www.siarescuers.org to learn more about our rescue group.
