Paws Around the Pee Dee Feb 15, 2025: Pretty Sia enjoyed her time out and about in Hartsville today during her Paws Around the Pee Dee Pal-entine💕 adventure. This pretty girl loved the attention and hopes to find a home soon. She’s a 1 1/2 year old cattle dog/shep mix?, 42 lb, and heart worm positive. Sia fully melted into this kind man she met at Purrs McBarkin'. Anyone who was patient and slow with her, she would sit on their feet and soak in the affection. This pretty lady is dog and kid friendly. Sia’s Pal-entine partner had this to say about Sia: "I just wanted to take a minute to introduce y'all to my beautiful friend, Sia. I had the pleasure of being her field trip partner during the Paws Around the Pee Dee Adventure yesterday. Sia is struggling with her confidence but really enjoyed meeting people during our trip who went slow with her. She liked the kids and looked to the other dogs walking nearby for a confidence boost. There was an obvious improvement in Sia's confidence, leash skills, and trust in the very short time we had her, but she will need someone who can be patient with her and let her love them at her own speed. She would probably flourish in a home with another confident dog to help her out. Sia knows how to sit, and is a smart, quiet gentle girl. She is happy to sit at your feet to soak in attention, especially when you are patient and slow with her." Who can help Sia please?
