Meet Tammy! Hi there, I’m Tammy — a 2-year-old, 14-lb Yorkshire Terrier blend with springs in my step and joy in my heart! Some say I might have a bit of kangaroo in me because I love to leap, wiggle, and bounce right into your arms. I’m a sweet, silly, affectionate girl who’s ready to fill your home with laughter, love, and endless snuggles.
Personality & Behavior - I’m happiest when I’m with my people. Expect zoomies in the yard, playful hops around the house, and plenty of cuddles on the couch. I’m also a sensitive soul who appreciates peace and calm when the world gets noisy. I can be a little nervous around men at first, but I warm up quickly once I know I’m safe and loved.
My Favorite Things - I love running and dancing around the backyard, being part of whatever you’re doing, and ending the day curled up next to you. Leash walks are one of my favorite adventures — I go full steam ahead in a funny little zig-zag pattern that’s guaranteed to make you smile. Playtime and attention make my tail wag, but snuggling is my specialty.
Training & Manners - I’m a quick learner — I already know “sit” and I’m doing great with my housetraining! I’m also crate trained and sleep peacefully through the night without fussing. When I first started, I just needed a calm “no, quiet” once or twice to understand bedtime rules. After a busy day, I’ll snooze soundly in my cozy dog bed. I can be a bit wiggly in the car, so a dog seat belt helps keep me safe, and I’m still polishing up my basic manners. With a little patience, I’ll be the perfect little lady.
Health & Care - I’m spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, and recently had my teeth cleaned. I just need regular monthly preventatives and occasional grooming to keep my coat shiny and healthy.
Other Pets - I do well with small to medium-sized dogs and would love a canine companion — I don’t like being alone for long. I’m a bit too interested in cats, so a cat-free home is best.
Children - I’d do best with dog-savvy kids ages 10 and up who understand that I can be timid sometimes and need gentle handling.
Ideal Home - A single-family home with a tall, secure fenced yard would be perfect for me. I love to run, jump, and play safely outside, but because I can spook easily, I need a secure environment to keep me safe. I’d also do well in a condo or apartment, as long as I’m taken out regularly for walks and potty breaks. I’m not a yapper — my bark is soft and more of a little howl, and I save my voice for when someone is at the door or coming inside.
