SIDNEY* - AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD / POODLE (MINIATURE) (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd / Poodle (Miniature) (medium coat). Boy, do I have a tale to tell, and I promise it's all the truth. My name is Sidney, and I am an Australian Shepherd/Poodle mix puppy. I was in a kennel far away in Missouri when suddenly, I was lifted up, and there was a lady looking at me with love. I was shocked, surprised, and unsure. She put me in another kennel with my litter mates and off we went. It seemed like I had traveled across the country, but I hadn't, one does have to remember that there are dog years and then there are puppy months, day, minutes. For a puppy, everything just seems to take longer. And then what seemed like no time at all I had a name, Sidney, a collar and a temporary home. Now I'm in a home with my foster mom. When I arrived here the first thing I noticed was that there were other older dogs. I very much want to play, but sadly, they don't. I do know that the resident dogs keep telling me to stay away from their chewies. I figure they must be valuable so I have decided to squirrel away some for myself just in case. I have also come across this thing that has fur, smells different, and makes a noise like nothing I have ever heard. My foster mom says its a cat. I don't really know what to do when it hisses, so I run. I'm a typical puppy in every way. I love to play, explore my new surroundings, and cuddle. I’m not a fan of my kennel, but I will stay in it for a little while before I just can't do it anymore. My foster mom says we need to work on that. Right now, I have a play pen that I sleep in, and I will sleep most of the night. I'm also an expert already on a leash. I enjoy a good walk, and I will just follow you wherever you go. I’m also working on potty training, which is a hit or miss with me, but I feel confident I will master that. I also come when I’m called, so I already know my name my foster mom gave me. Right now, I’m waiting for the day I can go up for adoption and find my forever home. My foster mom says I’m such a love bug that I would be good for anyone. I could go to a home with kids, or a couple that just wants a sweet pup around, or someone who lives alone and wants a friend. Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.
