Sylvia

Sylvia is a sweet girl who was found as a stray. She seems to be a quick learner and is eager to please! When she first meets people, she can be a little shy, but she quickly warms up, especially if treats are involved. She knows "sit" and seems to enjoy gentle pets and attention. Sylvia can be a bit of a leash-puller when she's excited or curious about something, but she does come when called. She's also shown to be a bit hesitant with new things like water and a can, but she's responsive when gently guided. She's been observed to be wiggly and bouncy, and sometimes doesn't take corrections well, but with patience and positive reinforcement, she's sure to blossom. Sylvia also showed good manners when meeting another dog, displaying a play bow and moving away politely.

Ideal Home

Sylvia would do best in a home where she can continue to build her confidence. She's shown to be a bit shy initially, so a patient and understanding family will be key to her success.

Ongoing Health

No specific health concerns are noted in her description.
