Backstory: Tammy (aka Trixie) was pulled from a high killl shelter in Georgia. She was set to be euthanized the day she was pulled. She is a really sweet girl, she loves her people and is a little dog selective. Would do best as an only dog to start out. She could be trained to gain more confidence and possibly be introduced to other dogs.
Foster comments:
As her foster, we have found Trixie to be a loving and playful dog when she is within our home and backyard. Trixie warmed up to us within the first few days of her staying with us. She is a very sweet girl and she loves and shows affection for the people that have gained her trust.
Trixie loves to smell and stalks squirrels/rabbits in our backyard. Make sure you have a well fenced in backyard or large farm with space to run and play. Trixie can become very excited when it’s time for walkies and jumps a bit because of her excitement getting into her leash/harness. She walks decently on a leash however she does pull when she catches a good scent or sight. She can become overstimulated easily and she will need some training to learn how to meet and interact with other dogs and their humans. She might be best as an only dog in your house. During the day she loves to sleep beside us while my husband and I work from home.
Trixie is a smart dog. She is properly crate trained. She goes into her crate easily with the motivation of a treat or a simple hand motion when it’s time for bed. She’s only ever barked in her crate for bed time the first night a few times. She is house broken and has never peed or pooped within our house. When she needs to go outside of scheduled walk times she becomes a little restless and that’s her signal she needs to go outside for a bathroom break.
When we first got Trixie, she did not know any commands. She is smart and now responds to “come” and “sit” in the short time we’ve had her. We’re positive she’s capable of learning more commands. Trixie does not try to steal human food, during meals she will silently beg, but after a few minutes she’ll give up and lay down.
She loves toys and will destroy them. So make sure to get the durable, long lasting ones. She loves her Kong rope toy fox (once she removed the squeakers and stuffing) and her flexible chew ball, she’ll play with these toys daily. Every couple days, she’ll get a case of the zoomies, which is adorable. So make sure to have a few toys on hand when that happens. She has some resource guarding tendencies with her toys, however, if she gets a hold of a non-toy it can easily be switched out with either a real toy or a treat.
Here in Canada- come meet her!

The majority of our dogs are adopted before traveling to Canada. We are a foster based rescue, so a meet & greet can be arranged with some dogs that are already here.

More about this rescue
We are so much more than a dog rescue! We are a community of incredible volunteers with one goal in mind: To help dogs in need find a loving, forever home. We are moms and dads, sisters and daughters, sons and brothers from all walks of life. We have come together with one goal in mind: To help dogs that need it most. Those on death row, those lost, those hungry those broken-hearted. We will work and work and work until we find a family for each one of them. We will not stop until each one of our dogs has the one thing they wish for: the safety of a home and the love of a family. We are foster based. This means we do not have a facility, dogs are pulled from shelters and put in to comfortable homes until they are adopted. Each foster volunteer allows us to save one more dog and help him/her find a loving forever home. Since 2015, NDR has saved over 9500 dogs. These dogs are ALIVE today because of we cared and we worked and we cried and we pleaded and we drove and we checked and we advocated and we fought and we begged and, in the end, we made this possible without funding or paid staff. With no shelter or corporate sponsors. With nothing but the will of our amazing volunteers working together to help save the lives of the dogs we can help. We keep our heads down, we focus on what we need to do to help our dogs and we go to work. We have made a difference in the lives of those dogs that are fortunate enough to be ours.
