Sienna is an approximately two-year-old Husky x Lab. She was rescued from the shelter after being over-looked for six months. She is taking to training rapidly and promises to be an exceptional family dog for a household with children eight or older, or she’d love an empty-nesting couple looking for a travel buddy. Sienna is a balanced mix of playful and laid back when her human wants it. She is confident and independent but still enjoys affection and human interaction. She’d love a home with a fenced back yard so she can sniff about before returning to lie by your side while you drink your morning coffee. Let’s not forget her stunning blue eyes and her soft coat, which she loves to have brushed.

Sienna excels at the following activities:

·         Crates and leashes up without a fuss

·         Car rides – doesn’t climb over the seats or lick you while you’re driving

·         Doesn’t bark in her crate, at the doorbell, or people/dogs walking by

·         Takes food and treats gently

·         Likes to play ball and carry toys in her mouth while jogging

·         Appears to be house/grass trained – hasn’t had an accident inside or on concrete

·         Belly rubs and lying quietly by her human’s side for Netflix

·         Likes other dogs and confident cats (she will chase if the cat runs)

·         Likes children

Sienna is learning quickly the following activities:

·         Basic commands, such as come, sit, down, stay, place, and out (drop the toy/ball). She’s at about 85% on these commands, and further practice will get her to 100% in no time.

·         Leash manners, such as walking calmly by her human’s side and not surging ahead

·         “Let’s go,” meaning leave off with the sniffing and start moving with her human

·         Not to counter surf or jump at doors (this is at 90% now – a simple, “Nope,” and she drops back to the ground)

·         Walking up and down stairs to match the pace of her human (great for someone with old knees)

·         That her stuffies are for play time, not dinner time
