Female | 9 months old | 12 pounds | Medium energy | Lives with a dog | Hasn’t met kids or cats | From Mexico | Fostered in Toronto | Cuddle bug | Shy & working on building confidence
This is TAMALE! At 9 months old, she’s a small and shy yet relatively feisty young pup who’s working on gaining confidence. She loves a good cuddle sesh and is also a big fan of playing with toys half her size. You’ll soon find out that she’s interested in playing fetch, walking in calm neighbourhoods, and figuring out puzzles. One thing you should keep an eye out for? Your socks being stolen! She’s been known to abscond with them!
The kind of home in which TAMALE will grow into her best self is one that extends patience as she continues to learn. She’s a young scruff and is learning a lot every day. With that in mind, she’d thrive as part of a family that’s keen to really dive into her training. Having people who are home more often than not is also something that may benefit her as she continues to build confidence.
Let’s talk about TAMALE and training. If we could humble-brag really quickly, we’d love to share that she’s mastered the art of going down the stairs in her foster family’s home. She’s also shown that she responds well to boundaries that are consistently enforced and would likewise do well in a home where kids (older, if there are any) also respect her boundaries. TAMALE is working on house and crate training and will continue to do so in her new home.
TAMALE is currently living with another dog, and while she still needs the occasional correction, she’s happy to interact. Ready to adopt this sweet scruff? Apply today!
