They were labeled as strays. The shelter tried finding a foster home for her. However, being a new momma she was threatening everyone who went near her and her babies. Nobody was willing to take the momma in to give her and her babies a chance. We just so happened to have some space and had contacted the shelter about another dog needing us. The staff member didn't know much about him off the top of her head but she did know this little girl so sent pictures and told me her story and let me know they were urgently in need of rescue since Miss Tinker was only letting a couple people near her babies. So when we picked up the first dog we said yes to we grabbed her and her babies as well. The babies have since been adopted and now it is Tinkers turn to find her forever family. Temperament- Super sweet, very smart, loves attention, and tries really hard to do what is expected of her. She is just a sweet little dog and wants nothing more than to be loved on. She enjoys sitting in the chair next to mine so that she can be higher than the other dogs and get pets. She lets the grandkids love on her and pet her and is just so sweet. Energy Level- Pretty mellow for the most part though she will attempt to play fetch sometimes. Dogs/Cats- Ignores the cats completely. She enjoys playing chase with the other dogs. Housetrained- She is crate trained and house trained. However, she was not house trained when she got here so she was more than likely an outdoor dog. So as with all new dogs she should be watched initially to ensure she doesn't start having accidents- she needs to be shown the rules from the get go. Tinker just needed to learn that nobody was going to hurt her and her babies. Once she realized they were all safe and loved she just turned into the sweetest girl ever. She is just such a little tiny gem with big ears. She is absolutely perfect - with such a wonderful temperament she won't last long as I imagine once people see how perfect and uniquely beautiful she is we will get slammed with applications so get yours in if you want to meet this sweet girl. She will make an absolutely wonderful addition to any family wanting that perfet little dog to love.
