Are you right for Tara?
You won’t be applying for a specific dog, but you can tell us what type of dog you’re looking for. You can also add up to four favourites to your application to give us an idea of the dogs you like, so we can consider you for similar dogs. Once you’ve submitted your application, we can’t change or update your favourites. Adding a dog to your application is not a reservation but a guide for us to find you a match. Tara is looking for a home with loving adult adopters. She will need to be the only dog in the home, and a home without cats and small furries. She may chase birds and we have no history of Tara around livestock. Tara would love to find access to quieter walks where she can relax, she is not sure how she feels about other dogs and needs to work on her doggy social skills. We can give you the skills and guidance to work on this. Tara is instantly friendly with new people and would be fine with visitors to the home. She may have never been left alone and therefore time will need to be built up gradually. She could cope with a reasonably busy home environment. She is not yet housetrained. She is happy to get in the car for treats. Experience of the breed would be beneficial.
Is Tara right for you?
Tara is a beautiful three-year-old German Shepherd. She is an independent and confident lady who likes to explore, having a good sniff in new locations. Tara enjoys playing with a ball and she likes to engage in a game with you with two balls, swapping one out for the other. She especially likes a squeaky ball and will sometimes carry one around with her. She is affectionate when she is ready, and she likes to have a fuss. Tara enjoys home comforts like stretching out on the sofa for naps. Tara is not yet sure about how she feels about other dogs being around her and is learning to wear a muzzle. She would best suit quieter walks so she can practice her doggy social skills without being overwhelmed in high dog populated areas. She knows some basic training of ‘sit’, ‘paw’, and ‘down’, she loves treats, so why not teach her some new skills with positive reward training.
