Meet Tails, a young shelter dog brimming with love and life. Tails is the epitome of a companion dog—sweet, energetic, and incredibly friendly. Her intelligence shines through her curiosity and obedience, making her a joy to train and play with. She already knows the sit, stay, come, no, down, and shake commands. She lived outside at her finder`s home so she`ll need to learn about house training and she`s not quite a pro at leash walking yet. If she runs away while off leash, she`ll come back if you call her. She weighs 25 pounds and enjoys agility, fetch, running, tugging, toys, walks, water, chase and wrestling. Despite her energetic nature, Tails is also wonderfully gentle, a bit shy, and a bit distrustful, often seeking comfort as a lovable lap dog. She`s protective yet submissive, always ensuring she`s a source of joy and not trouble. She`s a social butterfly who has experience with teenagers. She`s easygoing, friendly, and playful but a bit rough with cats. She`s playful but cautious and sometimes fearful of dogs. She does have youthful habits like chewing, barking, digging, and running away in search of a good time so she`ll need a little patient and guidance. She was given up because her finders didn`t have time for her. Adopting Tails means bringing home endless affection and joy. (tw 12/1/2025)
