My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

The very first thing that Tinker the Corgi Chihuahua mix wants to make clear is that she's a love. Everything is new to Tinker...her adorable little nose sniffs shyly at an outstretched hand...and then an ear to ear smile if it's a loving touch. And then before you know it, Lyric is in your lap or next to you on the couch. She's so happy there because her human relationships are so important to her. We have to remember that Tinker comes from a very tough and challenging shelter. As a result of unkind handling and harsh conditions, Tinker is a bit shy. Once she's assured that all is well, she'll snuggle close for love and support. This 1 year old, 8 lb corgi mix truly lights up when she feels like she's done a good job... some serious hugging and kind words will send her over the moon. Tinker is such a people dog...she likes older kids but they definitely must be very gentle and handle her kindly. We envision Tinker with a retired couple or individual who want an adorable and sweet dog as a family member and companion. She would be so excited to spend her days in the company of her people....she's quiet and mellow enough to spend her afternoon snoozing on the couch or would be just as happy to go for a hike along gorgeous Colorado paths....just as long as she's with her person. Tinker can have a moment of insecurity from the turmoil that has been in her life...a guardian who is present and full of good intention can readily get this great girl past these feelings and let her know she is loved and won't be abandoned.

Lyric will be arriving on transport on 7/11/14. We are currently accepting applications for this sweet and exceptional companion
