Sylvia

Meet Sylvia, a 6‑month-old tricolor Smooth Collie mix puppy who’s smart as a whip, people-loving, and already a rockstar in puppy class. This sweet, energetic girl is crate trained, learning her manners, and eager to find a home ready to guide her into a confident, happy adult dog.

Sylvia is an affectionate, toy-loving youngster who enjoys checking in with her people between play sessions. She’s already a pro in her crate and sleeps peacefully through the night, with separation and handling both rated as excellent. In her foster home she’s learning house training and basic skills, and she’s already shown off a beautiful sit in class. She rides well in the car and even mastered her first elevator ride quickly, showing how adaptable and bright she is. This social girl has met a wide variety of adults—men, beards, hats, tall and short—and adores everyone. She enjoys other dogs and can get a bit overstimulated with high-energy puppies, so continued guidance will help her learn good doggy manners. Sylvia is still a typical puppy: she may bark at new sights and sounds, jump up, weave around your legs, and is not yet fully housebroken. Because she can tangle underfoot, she’s best with steady adults and respectful children 5+. A securely fenced yard or dog run and a family committed to training, structure, and exercise will help this clever smoothie truly blossom.
