Meet Tilly! She is a 2.5 year old, 66# lab who came to SFCR as a breeder release. Tilly is very sweet but can be a bit shy when meeting new people for the first time. She is mellow, meaning if you are relaxing - watching TV, reading, etc., so is she. But if you are up and moving around, she will be your shadow :) An active individual or family would be best for her as she loves her walks and with some training, she could easily be a running partner. She would do best with in a home with a fenced in yard but it's not a must. Tilly gets along perfectly with the resident dogs and cat. She is also house trained and crate trained. At this point, being on furniture and sleeping in the human's bed is foreign to her but if that is what you desire, she could easily adapt. :) She travels well and even got to go camping! What it all boils down to is that Tilly loves her humans. Side Note: If Tilly's adopter(s) end up being local, her foster mom would happily watch her if/when they needed to be away/traveling.

Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have received limited socialization, so they may need extra time to adjust and settle in. Older children are often a great fit for our dogs, and family's with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may require a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of our dogs adapt quite quickly. |
