A little about them
Syrus is a shy, affectionate, and loyal dog who becomes a wonderful best friend once he gets to know you. He enjoys walks, hikes, car rides, cuddles, and giving hugs. Syrus adapts well to playful dogs of all sizes, gently plays with cats when invited, and is happy to leave them alone otherwise. He is not dog reactive, though he may perk up when he sees another dog, and squirrels can make him a little excited.
He is described as a Shepherd/Border Collie mix, with possible Great Dane and/or Greyhound/Whippet ancestry. His long legs, svelte body, and distinctive muzzle stripe make him especially memorable. Syrus would thrive with active, patient humans who appreciate a smart and devoted companion. He may need some time to adjust to his new home and prefers to approach new people when he is ready for attention.
Ideal Home
Syrus would do best with active humans and other playful dogs. He is good with cats and would benefit from a family that understands his shy nature and gives him time to build confidence.
