Requirements: Applicants will not be considered unless they have a secure yard for Tilly and can provide a structured environment for her to continue to thrive with her training. Tilly is an approximately 1.5 year old, 50 pound German Shepherd who didn’t get the best start in life. She came into our program after she was hit by a car on a busy road. Tilly most likely missed the important socialization window as a young pup and will need to continue working on these skills with her potential family. She has a loving, silly, active personality that has blossomed from behavioral training at the Texas Dogfather and being at home with her foster. She is smart and eager to please. She is improving on her leash skills. She understands “Wait” and “Leave it” which are essential to practice during walks to ignore other dogs, people, and other distractions. She has anxiety so she needs slow introductions to new people and situations to build trust and confidence. She is house-trained, and crate-trained. Her ideal home would be a house with a backyard, and a family that will provide a structured environment. She can be easily excitable where she will jump and be mouthy so we cannot recommend a home with young children or cats. She would love a non-dominant dog sibling that can show her the ropes. As she continues to work on her manners and training, we think Tilly can be the best dog she can be with the right family.
