SID THE SLOTH

  • Pronouns: he/they

    Hello! My “job” is to make people’s day a little bit brighter! 

    I’m very friendly, but I like to get to know each other first. So before you pet me, I will need to just sniff you. The price to pet me is that I will shower you in kisses. I’d also like to see your hands as you pet me…I especially like the chest or booty scratches. If I bark, I’m just really excited. 

    My breed is a mix of American eskimo and poodle. 

    I love to meet new people and am looking forward to welcoming you at your next visit!

    Please note: We want patients to be comfortable and understand a dog may make people nervous. If you have dog allergies or fear of dogs, please alert the staff ahead of time so he can be crated.
