Female | 11 months old | 40 Pounds (may grow more) | Puppy Energy | Good exposure with other dogs | Not cat tested | Good exposure with dog-savvy kids | From Mexico | Fostered in Burlington | Playful, nervous but sweet
Sairi is a sweet, cuddly, and playful adolescent who’s quickly adjusting to life in her foster home. She’s still a bit nervous about new situations but is brave, and her affectionate nature shines through as she gets more comfortable. Sairi loves people which includes some kids. She is a mix breed, is about 40lbs at 11 months old.
Her ideal day: Sairi thrives on structure and activity. A typical day for her includes potty breaks, walks, playtime, and naps. She’s an energetic pup who loves to run and play, especially if there’s another dog to chase. She enjoys 30+ minute walks at a brisk pace and would happily go on hikes or strolls around the neighborhood. After her walks, she’s ready for a nap, but she’ll happily play with toys or cuddle on the couch when she’s welcomed for some engagement. A great way to use her brain and bond with her is by working on skills.
Good exposure with people & dogs, Sairi has been good with kids, enjoying their company as long as they approach her calmly. But, we know that's not always how kids exist so making sure an adult human is helping manage interactions is perf for setting her up for success. She’s also been getting along well with other dogs she's met—she loves to run and play with them but also respects their space. She’d thrive with an active dog who enjoys play sessions, as she’s energetic and loves company.
Sairi is still building her confidence, so she needs a home that is willing to provide plenty of structure, guidance and learnings. She’s also still working on potty training and crate training, but with consistency, she’s making progress. She would do well with an adopter who is active, loves to walk or hike, and has the time to do classes and bonding activities for her development (and theirs). A family that can continue working on her confidence and help her overcome her nervousness will be the perfect match.
Fun fact: She’s also fascinated by fabric, so if you have a soft blanket or a pair of gloves lying around, be warned—she might just nibble on them!
If you’re looking for a sweet, loving puppy who’s ready to become your best friend with a little time and patience, Sairi could be the perfect fit for your home!
