Meet Sugar
Meet Sugar, a sensitive soul who blossoms into a silly and spunky pup once she’s comfortable. This special girl has been through a lot of transitions in her 5 months, and is looking for a patient adopter who’s ready to give her the space and time she needs. New people and places are scary for Sugar, and she does best when she has her own quiet, predictable area to retreat to when the world feels like too much. It’s key to let Sugar approach you on her own terms – human interactions should be positive and gentle, to minimize stress and help her build confidence and social skills. Once Sugar does trust you, she’s even sweeter than her name suggests! The first (or every) time she puts her chin in your hand, your heart will melt. <3
Sugar’s time in foster with a staff member taught us a lot about her comfort zone and preferences. Her favorite things include squeaky stuffy toys, frozen Kongs, and pup rolls (ask our staff about these!). And above all, Sugar loves other dogs! Having a confident helper dog is a huge help, both to give Sugar the courage to explore, and as an outlet for her goofy and playful spirit. Though she prefers to have her own established place in the home, she will gladly venture out to play and snuggle with her canine buds. If you have space in your heart for an awkward lovebug like Sugar, stop by Northeast Animal Shelter. We’re open every day from 11:30-5:00 – no appointment needed!
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Sugar. We have open adoption hours 7 days a week from 11:30am-5pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through. Interested adopters will work with a matchmaker on staff to determine which dog(s) they are interested in and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.
