My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello friends! I`m the perfect pal for anyone who loves a mix of adventure and cuddling. I`m always happy to go on walks or visit pet-friendly places and I love to go on car rides! I will also be your snuggle buddy when you are ready to wind down and watch television. I am already well house trained and know how to use a dog door!

I have even had a DNA test so we know that I am half German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois! That`s a bonus you don`t find just anywhere.

FOSTER TESTIMONIAL: `Tara was an Angel. Of course she pulled on her leash with the initial excitement. However about 5 minutes in she relaxed and walked wonderful on a leash! Once we finished enjoying the outdoors we stopped at Jennie’s Ice-cream! She LOVED her vanilla ice cream and waffle cone. I hated to return her to shelter. If I was not moving I would have loved to be her foster mom. Sweet cuddle bug.`
` She rode well in the car, gave me kisses while buckling her into her seat, and did well on our 4 mile walk--this girl loves to go! She didn`t pull too much either--some to start but then settled in to lead me down the trail, sometimes looking back and me with a huge smile on her face, her eyes sparkling. She ignored bicycles that passed us, and smiled and wanted to greet every runner and walker, although never actually stopped to meet someone. After our walk, we enjoyed ice cream together--peanut butter dog ice cream bone-shaped snacks for Tera! She was so gentle in taking the treats and gave more kisses and hugs after our snack. She`s a great dog--such a happy girl full of smiles and love. `

I`ve found that I get along with many dogs but if you bring yours to meet me before adoption, we can make certain that we will be best of friends.

APPOINTMENT TYPE: Scheduled - Please fill out and application to meet me since I am in a foster home!

We also have Senior for Seniors - if you are 65 older and adopt a dog or cat over 7 years of age, the adoption is free!
