Tally is just precious. At only a year old, she found herself scheduled for a 10am euthanasia at an overcrowded county shelter simply due to space and a broken toe (yes…a broken toe).
Tally is currently in foster and doing AMAZING! She’s a Velcro pup and wants to be with you at all times. She doesn’t necessarily need to be pet constantly - she’s content just laying under your feet or beside you. She loves sniffing around and doing "find-it" games. She is incredibly intelligent and catches on to training quickly.
She gets along with all animals and is cat curious but gentle. She’s potty trained, not food aggressive at all, takes treats gently and walks well on a leash. Not a huge fan of the crate but her foster is working on her with that. She LOVES children and will lay on their lap as long as they pet her.
Tally is a sensitive Shepherd and has shown some reactivity (barking/lunging) to new people, but this has improved with counter conditioning and moving away from triggers. When moving into a new home, her adopter will need to be patient and understand that these behaviors may emerge as she tries to figure out her new handler and home. Tally does phenomenal with a confident handler! She has attended numerous public adoption events with a confident handler and has shown zero issues meeting/seeing new people and other dogs. We are happy to provide her adopters with training support to continue to set Tally up for success in this field.
*******************************
Tally is currently in a foster home, but we are happy to arrange a meet & greet with approved adopters. To get started, please submit an adoption application at https://bit.ly/USAHOTNADOPT2024
Adoption process:
Potential adopters complete our online application. From there, we contact them to continue the screening process including checking references, vet checks, and a personal phone interview. Upon completion, potential adopters are pre-approved.
From there, potential adopters are put in touch with the foster parent(s) of the dog they are interested in adopting. If a specific dog is not in mind, admins will make suggestions based on who we feel will be good candidates for their home. We take the foster's opinions into high consideration when determining ideal fit for an adoption.
Once the dog is determined to be a good fit for the adoptive home, the adopter is given advisement on decompression, training, safety gear, and future preventative vetting. The adoption contract is signed and adoption fee paid to finalize the adoption.
