Meet Tammy (20201011-01)

Tammy was pulled from a high killl shelter in Georgia. She was set to be euthanized the day she was pulled. She is a really sweet girl, she loves her people and is a little dog selective. Would do best as an only dog to start out. She could be trained to gain more confidence and possibly be introduced to other dogs. Foster comments: As her foster, we have found Tammy to be a loving and playful dog when she is within our home and backyard. Tammy warmed up to us within the first few days of her staying with us. She is a very sweet girl and she loves and shows affection for the people that have gained her trust. Tammy loves to smell and stalks squirrels/rabbits in our backyard. Tammy becomes very excited when it’s time for walks and jumps a bit because of her excitement getting into her leash/harness. She walks decently on a leash however she does pull when she catches a good scent or sight. She can become overstimulated easily and she will need some training to learn how to meet and interact with other dogs and their humans. She might be best as an only dog in your house. During the day she loves to sleep beside us. Tammy is a smart dog. She is properly crate trained and easily goes in when you say "time to go in your crate". She is house broken. When she needs to go outside of scheduled walk times she becomes a little restless and that’s her signal she needs to go outside for a bathroom break. She is learning to meet new people within the house. When people enter the home she becomes very protective but we have learned that shw is modivated by treats. When someone enters the home they give her a treat while sitting at her level and they are able to pet her within minutes. Tammy is a smart dog, she responds to “come” , “sit”, "stay". We’re positive she’s capable of learning more commands. Tammy does not try to steal human food, during meals she usually will go eat her food at the same time and then come lay at your feet. She loves toys and will destroy them. So make sure to get the durable, long lasting ones. She loves her rope and bones she’ll play with these toys daily. Every couple days, she’ll get a case of the zoomies, which is adorable. So make sure to have a few toys on hand when that happens. She has some resource guarding tendencies with her toys, however, if she gets a hold of a non-toy she easily gives it back which is rare.
