Breed: Golden Retriever
Status: Sanctuary
Sierra goes for walks with her mom and fur sibling. This consistent routine is helping Sierra to feel more confident in her surroundings and creates a safe outdoor experience for her. She loves her daily walks and trusts that her Sanctuary mom is by her side to guide her around the neighborhood. Sierra enjoys playing with a tennis ball. Even though she can’t see it very well, she will search for it when you toss it nearby.
Sierra startles if someone enters the room, but if you announce yourself on your way in, it helps her to feel more secure. She also gets a little nervous when she first hears deep male voices but will relax after she has a few minutes to get familiar with the sounds.
Sierra is a speedy eater, but the slow-feed bowl seems to make her more nervous. Her foster mom is having her eat a little and then pause before going in for more. She also gulps down water so it’s best not to let her drink when she is very excited or immediately after her walk. Her foster mom froze a bowl of water and then poured a little fresh water over top and this adaptation is working to slow Sierra down a bit.
