Hello! My name is Tansy! I am a fun-loving pup who LIVES for a good wrestle with other doggy pals, to be fully stretched out on the couch for a nap, and finding great sticks while on walks. I enjoy taking my time sniffing while out for a stroll and am continuing to learn good leash manners; I really like to wrestle, so sometimes I forget I’m on a walk and try to tussle with my foster sister. When I walk by myself, I do a really great job! I don’t really understand fetch, but I love to play tug. I mostly carry toys around in my mouth instead of chewing or destroying them. I have a lot of dog friends I get to see on a regular basis, and my foster mom even takes me out to the farm. You know what that means? That means I don’t try to run after the chickens or ducks when they are roaming around in the yard!
I’ve had a lot of fun with my foster mom, and I’m ready to find my forever home. I would thrive in an adults-only home that either has another playful dog and/or are committed to make sure I stay well socialized with other pets. Having my very own family rub my soft ears and kiss me all over my big head is what I dream about. I can’t wait to snuggle my humans for the rest of my life.
If you’re looking for a silly, long-legged snuggle bug, Tansy could be your perfect fit! Apply to adopt today.

The first time you will meet your dog in person is when they arrive on transport in Chicago, UNLESS you choose to travel to Memphis before the adoption is final, to meet your potential family member. We do our best in the interview process to ask as many questions possible about your current animals, household, and general things you are looking for in a dog. We do this to ensure all parties are comfortable and happy with the adoption. It is our goal to give you a companion for 10-15 years. We want our dogs to be in forever homes! We understand this type of adoption is not for everyone and would encourage any applicant who is uncomfortable with not meeting one of our dogs beforehand, to refrain from submitting an application.
