Are you looking for your new best friend and loyal companion? Sicily is the girl for you!

She enjoys cuddling with her foster mom and getting all the head pets and belly rubs. She will even remind her to continue petting her with a gentle head nudge if her foster mom forgets her duties and gets distracted with something else.

This smart cookie is fully potty trained, and can hold it as long as she needs to (although we would never recommend going more than 10-12 hours without a potty break). She goes quietly into her kennel when her foster mom leaves and doesn't make a peep while she is gone. Sicily also loves to hang out in the kennel during the day as she sees it as her safe space. She also walks well on the leash and listens well!

Sicily loves people so much that she gets a little jealous sharing attention with other animals. Although we can always see if she is a good match with another dog in the home, her best environment would be a home where she can be the only animal!

If you are interested in hearing more about her, or meeting her, please reach out!

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!

Come meet your new best friend
