Meet Sierra, our little white pocket pittie tank! She’s a tiny little thing, adorably snuggly and playful, getting the zoomies from time to time as we played. Her tail wags, her eyes meet mine, I toss a toy and off she goes. Zooming back for some petting as she snuggles between my legs, she looks up as I pet her and I melt! Surrendered due to “personal problems” we’re told that Sierra lived well with a 6 mo. old and an 11 yo. with whom she’s gentle. She’s friendly with strangers, afraid of loud noises and will hide, loves to play with toys, is housetrained for both outside and wee wee pads. and is well behaved when left home alone. Miss Sierra went potty the moment we were outside showing off her housetraining skills, is great on leash and trundles along by my side tail wagging. She sits for treats, takes them gently (her favorite we’re told is Milkbone). She snuggles, she zooms, she snuggles, she sits – I could spend the day watching her she’s so adorable! Sierra is simply fabulous and is hoping to find a new family to love starting now. Ask to meet her when you visit.
