Meet Sierra!Sierra is a gorgeous 9-month-old mystery mix with a stunning brindle coat and a gentle heart. At about 25 pounds, she's the perfect medium-sized pup who's still growing into her confidence.Sierra is a shy girl who takes a little time to warm up to new people and new places, but she's making wonderful progress every day. Once she feels safe, her sweet personality shines through.She loves chewing on bones and squeaky toys, zooming around the yard, and playing with other dogs. A confident canine companion would be a great match to help show her the ropes, though she'll also thrive with a patient adopter who is committed to building her confidence.Sierra is doing very well with housetraining when given regular potty breaks and settles nicely in her crate with a little encouragement. She's a quiet pup overall, only whining when she needs to go outside. She's also very food-motivated and eager to learn.Because she's still gaining confidence, Sierra will need secure walking equipment, such as a well-fitting harness or slip lead, as she can be nervous in unfamiliar environments. She'd do best with older, respectful children, and a securely fenced yard where she can safely run and play.Sierra is looking for someone who understands that shy puppies simply need time, patience, and love. Watching her discover that the world is a safe place is incredibly rewarding, and she'll repay you with a lifetime of loyalty and companionship.If you're ready to help a deserving puppy blossom, Sierra can't wait to meet you!Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
