Sylvia 1977

Hello, I'm Sylvia.<br/><br/>I've been told that if I were a household item, I'd be a weighted blanket. Honestly, I think that's pretty accurate.<br/><br/>I'm about 3 years old, 60 pounds, and my specialties include cuddling, napping, sunbathing, collecting toys, and making myself fit into dog beds that are clearly too small for me.<br/><br/>If there's a cozy spot available, I will find it.<br/>If there's a dog bed available, I will claim it.<br/>If there's a lap available... well... let's just say I don't let technicalities like my size get in the way.<br/><br/>I'm a gentle girl who can be a little shy when meeting new people. New things can make me nervous at first, but once I realize you're kind, my sweet personality starts to shine. Having other dogs around helps me feel brave, and I absolutely love having canine friends to show me the ropes.<br/><br/>In fact, if I could make one wish for my future home, it would be a dog sibling.<br/>Someone to play with.<br/>Someone to nap with<br/>Someone to remind me that everything is okay.<br/><br/>When I'm feeling confident, I enjoy walks, playing with my dog friends, carrying toys around, chewing on bones, and showing off my silly side. Every morning when the shelter staff comes in, I don't rush outside right away. Nope. First, I grab the nearest toy.<br/><br/>Then I proudly parade around with it<br/>It's important that everyone admires my treasure before I begin my day.<br/><br/>I also have a very important rule:<br/>Whenever you walk past me and I roll onto my back, a belly rub fee is required. No exceptions. It's in the contract. The good news is that payment is easy. A few belly rubs usually cover the balance.<br/>I love treats, snacks, bones, toys, more toys, and basically any food you decide to share with me. I also enjoy hearing that I'm beautiful. If you tell me I'm pretty while offering a snack, we'll probably become best friends.<br/><br/>I'm house trained, kennel trained, and have excellent indoor manners. My favorite hobbies include professional-level lounging, sunbathing in a fenced yard, cuddling with my people, and finding the softest spot in the house for an afternoon nap.<br/><br/>My dream home is a quieter one with older children who understand that sometimes shy girls need a little patience. I'd love a fenced yard where I can soak up the sunshine and a dog sibling who can help me build confidence and show me that the world isn't such a scary place.<br/><br/>What I'm really looking for is a family that will let me settle in at my own pace and discover just how much love I have to give.<br/><br/>Because underneath my shy exterior is a sweet, cuddly girl who wants nothing more than to be close to her people.<br/><br/>A comfy bed.<br/>A sunny spot.<br/>A dog friend.<br/>A few toys.<br/>Some belly rubs.<br/>Maybe a snack.<br/>Okay... definitely a snack.<br/>If that sounds like your kind of companion, I think we might be perfect for each other.<br/><br/>Love,<br/>Sylvia

Hello, I'm Sylvia.

I've been told that if I were a household item, I'd be a weighted blanket. Honestly, I think that's pretty accurate.

I'm about 3 years old, 60 pounds, and my specialties include cuddling, napping, sunbathing, collecting toys, and making myself fit into dog beds that are clearly too small for me.

If there's a cozy spot available, I will find it.
If there's a dog bed available, I will claim it.
If there's a lap available... well... let's just say I don't let technicalities like my size get in the way.

I'm a gentle girl who can be a little shy when meeting new people. New things can make me nervous at first, but once I realize you're kind, my sweet personality starts to shine. Having other dogs around helps me feel brave, and I absolutely love having canine friends to show me the ropes.
