Sienna - Pomeranian Dog for Adoption in Kansas City, Missouri

Pet Location: Wayside's Canine Behavior Center - I'd love to show off all the cool things I've learned at Wayside! Please arrive at the shelter before 4pm on our open adoption days to meet me!

My friends at Wayside say:
- I am from a puppy mill/hoarding situation. I will likely need extra time to adjust to home life. I have lived with other dogs but have not socialized with people. Things like walking on a leash and going through doorways can be challenging for me. Adopting me will be extremely rewarding, but I need time to learn.
-New people and things make me a little nervous. Let’s take things slow!
-During my time at Wayside, I have enjoyed being around other dogs.
-I am enrolled in Confidence College. This is a program for dogs to build confidence and learn that the world is not so scary. My adoption comes with a free 30-minute private training session.

My home needs are:
-For my safety, I need to go home on an anti-slip collar called a martingale collar. For your convenience, we sell them in our retail store, Whiskers and Wags.
-For my safety, I must go home in an airline carrier. For your convenience, we sell them in our retail store.
-I must go to a home that already has another confident dog so they can show me the ropes.
-I must meet other dogs in the home before adoption, as I enjoy hanging out over playtime.
-I feel more comfortable around new people when I have a doggie friend to build my confidence. Wayside requires you to bring your dog with you when you come to meet me.
-I need a home with kids 6 years old and older since I tend to be nervous around new people and loud noises.
-A fenced yard is a must for me! I do not know how to walk on a leash, so I need a secure area to go out for potty breaks.

Hi there, I’m Sienna! I’m a 5-year-old Pomeranian with soft fur, a gentle heart, and a whole wide world left to discover.

I’m a recent rescue from a puppy mill, which means that living in a real home is a brand-new adventure for me. Everyday things like cozy dog beds, soft carpet under my paws, and routine household sounds are all completely new! Because I'm still learning how wonderful life can be, I’m currently enrolled in Confidence College, where my human friends are helping me build my bravery every day.

Since I'm still building up my courage, I must go home with another dog. Having a canine companion is my absolute superpower! I don't play very often, but I gain an incredible amount of confidence just by coexisting with a doggie friend. I love following dogs my own size around, and having a buddy nearby helps me transform from quiet and tentative to wonderfully loose, wiggly, and happy.

I’m looking for patient, understanding adopters who will give me the time, love, and grace to learn and grow at my own pace in a safe environment. If you have a gentle home and a confident doggie friend ready to show me the ropes, I would love to meet you!

Love, Sienna
