Meet Sylvie, the playful pup with a heart full of love! Currently in foster care, Sylvie is searching for a forever home where she can thrive and be part of a loving family.

Sylvie is a social butterfly who loves making friends with both dogs and humans. She enjoys playing with other dogs at daycare and the dog park, as well as at home with her canine companion. While she's neutral towards older children, she may need some time to warm up to younger kids due to limited interaction.

Although Sylvie may be a bit too enthusiastic around cats, her intentions are playful rather than malicious. She's still learning boundaries and may need guidance in understanding when playtime is appropriate. It's important to supervise her interactions with cats until she learns to control her excitement.

When it comes to being alone, Sylvie struggles with separation anxiety. She may cry and become restless when left alone in her crate, but with patience and training, she can learn to feel more comfortable when by herself.

Sylvie is fully house-trained and knows to do her business outside. She'll let you know when she needs to go by pacing around during the day and whining in her crate at night.

While Sylvie may have a few behavioral challenges to overcome, her loving nature and playful spirit make her an ideal companion for an active and patient family. With the right guidance and plenty of love, Sylvie is sure to blossom into the perfect furry friend for years to come.
