Sylvia

My story

Sylvia (brindle pug mix) is hanging with her fosters while she waits for the perfect home that will meet her where she is at. Sylvia, her Mama, and siblings got off to a rough start. This family was passed through a couple of homes before they were surrendered to Rico with Parvo. Sylvia was the only pup not diagnosed with Parvo, but she was treated anyway since it was just a matter of time before she also would have parvo.Sylvia has made progress trusting humans. Sylvia initially squirmed away from her fosters as far as she could go and would not take food from their hands. Now she checks each finger for a treat, curls up next to her fosters to sleep on the couch, plays with her fosters, and lets her fosters rub her belly or scratch her back. Sylvia is not a fan of being picked up, but she will tolerate it since she knows a treat will follow. Sylvia also insists now on greeting her foster parents every time they have been apart. Sylvia loves her toys, meals and is highly treat motivated. Sylvia loves to play with her siblings and her mama and even the bigger dogs in the foster home. Sylvia loves belly rubs and back scratches. Sylvia sleeps in her own crate at night. She keeps her crate tidy and sleeps quietly. House training is a work in progress. Sylvia is taken outside for scheduled potty breaks and will immediately potty and then run to her foster mom for a treat. She will also run to her foster mom for a pet which is then rewarded by a treat since she was initially cautious around people.Sylvia is a petite girl weighing in at 8 lbs. Her date of birth is 12.7.24. Sylvia is up to date on all shots and her spay is scheduled for 5/20/2025.You can apply to meet Sylvia at ricopetrecovery.org.
