Courtesy Posting Only. Please contact caregiver below.

Estimated date of birth: 06/03/2026

Gender: Female

Breed: Shepard/Heeler/Beagle/Lab

Sydney was born on June 3, 2026 and was taken into foster care at 12 weeks along with her sister Keira.
Unfortunately, Sydney was in an unfortunate situation where her
humans couldn’t afford medical care. Sydney was loved and well fed and safe indoors.
She was vet checked and given her first vaccines on Aug 28,2026.
From the information we know about Sydney, her Mother is a Shepherd/Heeler mix and weighs about 50 lbs. The Dad
is a Black Lab and Beagle mix and weighed about 50 lbs. Sydney weighed 13 lbs at 12
weeks and we estimate she will be about 50 lbs when grown. Both parents are very
friendly towards humans and other pets. In her previous home, Keira was in a home with not only
their Mom and siblings, but another dog and 2 cats and got along with everyone. She
has not been around children to our knowledge, but they are super friendly and love
people.

Sydney is a curious girl that enjoys exploring her surroundings and also loves to play. She loves the
outdoors, but is also content to be inside. We are working on potty training along with basic
commands and walking on a leash. Sydney is still very much a puppy, anyone interested in her will need to continue
training so that she can be the best dog she can be.

We are asking for a $50 adoption fee that will be donated back to Caring for Creatures.
We are available for an in-home meet and greet or can do a video call. We will keep
the vaccines updated and pay for any of the puppy shots that have not been given.
Please contact Carol Monti at cmonti33@yahoo.com or at 850.319.4296 for more
information or to meet Sydney.

Blue Heelers are loyal, protective, and make excellent companions for active individuals or families willing to provide the engagement and exercise they need.

The shepherd dog breed encompasses a versatile group known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong work ethic. With a heritage deeply rooted in herding and protecting livestock, shepherds excel at various tasks ranging from obedience and agility competitions to search and rescue missions. Their protective nature makes them excellent family pets, offering unwavering devotion and a natural instinct to watch over and care for their loved ones.
