Description:
Please meet Sienna! Sienna is learning how to be a dog by total immersion. Everything is new to her right now, and she’s doing great. Just this week, she started playing more with toys, including the ones her foster mom’s granddaughter brought over. Recently, she cuddled for 15 minutes on a lap and even asked for pets on her own!
Sienna has also just started taking treats offered by hand. Trust is still something she’s learning, but she really wants to achieve it, and she’s making steady progress every day. Because everything is so new to her and she hasn’t been at her foster’s long, Sienna can be a bit timid. Her behavior when meeting new people is to walk away, but then observe from a safe distance. Even though she can be hesitant at first, she was willing to be petted by an 8-year-old who came to visit.
Outside, she likes to explore first and is willing to walk on a leash to potty. Actually, Sienna loves going for walks around the neighborhood, and she knows to lie down when the leash is being put on. Sienna is described as incredibly sweet. Everyone she meets just wants to show her some love. All these behaviors are amazing for a dog just learning everything, including trust.
She wants you to know that she’s making good use of the time, learning the joys of love from her foster family, and also mastering new commands and fun activities. Sienna is just waiting for someone to come and bring her to her loving, forever home.
