Sissy is full of spirit and will
thrive with an adventurous
family taking her with them
on all sorts of journeys. Sissy
should learn quickly with
positive motivation and treat
training. She is playful, loves
her toys, and enjoys the wading
pool, so she may be a swimmer.
Keeping her in company with
plenty of attention, exercise,
and a well-matched doggie
friend will really get Sissy off on
the right paw. Sissy is waiting
for you, her new best friend!
