Hi, I’m
Sydney!

If you grew up reading about dogs who were man's best friend, a companion for adventures, a sidekick through and through, Sydney might be the dog for you. Sydney is a delightful mix of fun-loving, adventurous couch potato. 

Sydney loves to play with toys and shred her stuffies. She is working on learning the rules of fetch and LOVES running through the pool. She can get a little worked up when playing and forgets to keep all four feet on the floor, but we are working on that. 

When out on walks, Sydney can get concerned about being left behind so prefers to be in the middle or the front of the group walks. She's been practicing her loose leash heel work to help orient her to her handler when on walks. 

Sydney will try anything for her friends, at least once! She's been building confidence in our training center, working on obstacles there and out on walks. She loves to climb up where she can be closer to you, like the picnic tables.

Once her needs are met with exercise, training, or enrichment, Sydney is content to doze nearby. As far as her suggested breeds, we think this is pretty calm for a husky mix. 

Sydney's FOMO and fear of being left behind isn't limited to walks, as she can sometimes be distraught when left behind during lunch break at the kennel. However, she is much more content when she has had a fulfilling morning.

While we have not had any instances of Sydney escaping, the shelter noted that she would climb fences to go find her own entertainment when left alone. She is more handler-orientated than escape focused.
