Siri

Description

Don’t let those long, elegant "Bambi" legs fool you—this 2-year-old Kentucky hound mix is lightweight, easy to scoop up, and 100% sweetheart. With a cute little notch on her ear and an endless supply of goofy puppy antics, Siri is sure to steal your heart. Siri is on the timid side initially and will need a patient family who understands she requires a little time to decompress. While she’s cautious around new people and unfamiliar surroundings at first, she warms up quickly once she feels safe! She hasn't mastered her basic commands yet, but her recall is coming along wonderfully when a tasty treat is involved. She is normally very quiet both inside and outside, crate trained with a snack, and does great with house training when she has dog door access and a little supervision. Leash manners are still a work in progress, though she does noticeably better on solo walks where she can focus without other doggie distractions. Siri loves to zoom, but those long legs have some serious spring—she can clear a 4-foot fence with ease, so a taller fence (at least 5–6 feet) is a must to keep her safe. Once playtime is over, she has a wonderful off switch and curls right up beside you. Her Dream Home: A patient, loving family willing to give her time and space to settle in and build confidence. An active home with kids and/or another playful dog to match her friendly energy once she’s comfortable. A handler who can step in with gentle redirection—she gets along great with most dogs, but her enthusiasm means she doesn't always know when to tap out of playtime and needs help taking breaks! A securely fenced yard with a fence higher than 4 feet for safe zoomies. Someone excited to continue her leash work and basic obedience using positive, treat-based praise. Siri also has her own crate and dog bed that she will be adopted with to help her on her way.
