As you can tell from my pictures, I am a beautiful girl who needs to lose some weight. My Dad and Mom loved me very much, but were no longer able to give me the amount of exercise I need. They reluctantly returned me to SRCI so I could find a home where I could get the exercise I need to stay healthy. I am somewhat timid when I first met you, but soon warm up to you.

Hi, my name is Sydney and I am looking for a forever home.  This nice lady came to get me from my home and took me somewhere else for a while and then to the vet to find out how healthy I am.  Then the nice lady took me to another nice lady and left me there.  My foster Mom has 2 other doggies that look like me and that made me happy that I have someone to play with.  It took me a little bit to get used to the foster Mom but I feel right at home now.  The vet said I needed to lose weight so I am not getting very much food.  I don’t mind it too much because one of the other dogs keeps me pretty busy.  Whew, I never knew that I would be this busy keeping up with another dog!  I had to leave my Foster Mom for a day and go to the vet again and get a dental.  She said it was a little over a week after I had been to the vet before and I was such a good doggie because I lost 1½ pounds! 
 

I now have a back yard.  I didn’t know what that was before because my Mommy and Daddy took me on walks instead of letting me run in a yard.  I am trained to walk with a leash though so that makes me special.  My foster Mom also has this little door just for doggies to go in and out whenever they want.  I really like that now because I can run out when she leaves to say bye-bye and go back in once she is gone.   

I am housebroken (whatever that means).  My foster Mom says I’m a sweet, affectionate, well behaved big dog.  She has had to learn that I can shake either of my paws and that I wait until I’m told “OK” before I will touch my dinner.  It’s not the same with the treats I get though.  I’m waiting for those with baited breath and she feeds those to me by hand.  She says I’m a good doggie because I make sure I don’t bite her hand when she gives me those treats. 
 

One thing my foster Mom doesn’t understand is that I like to bark at cars when they go by even if they’re way far away.  As long as I see a car moving out there I need to bark at it.  She says it’s OK because I’m getting a lot of exercise doing it since I run through the house and rush out “my” door to the back fence and then run to the other side of the yard when I see a car on that street.  Hey, maybe that’s why I like taking naps! 
 

Well, my foster Mom says that I should find a forever home soon because I’m the bestest dog.  The world needs more dogs like me! 
 

Bye for now.
