Story
Time to officially meet Mrs. Cashew (aka Tingi)! 🤎
Tingi is a 1 yr old , 6-pound little girl with a very difficult past. Because of what she’s been through, she’s extremely shy and still learning that the world can be a safe place. Considering her background, the progress she’s made in just one week has been remarkable.
* She has started to trust me and now follows me everywhere, watching my every move.
* Every time I leave, even if it’s only for five minutes, she greets me with kisses and hugs like I’ve been gone for years.
* She’s doing well meeting my other dogs and even gets along with my cats.
* She’s making progress with potty training—she had her first poop outside today! 🎉
* She’s still very nervous around people, especially children. I’ve introduced her to kids of different ages, but she usually chooses to sit in the corner with her back turned to everyone. 😂
* Potty training is definitely still a work in progress. Right after celebrating her first poop outside, she came inside and decided to leave me another “blessing.” 😂
* Crate training is also something we’re working on, and she still whines often. Sometimes it’s because she wants treats, sometimes she wants attention, and sometimes… I honestly think she just enjoys keeping me guessing.
* She has no idea how to walk on a leash yet. The second she feels the slightest bit of pressure, she flops onto the ground and refuses to move. She has made it very clear that she would much rather stay in the yard than go for a walk.
* While she generally gets along with other dogs, she did have one growling moment with the neighbor’s Shih Tzu but he was smelling to long...so we’re continuing to work on building her confidence and positive interactions.
When Tingi first came to us, all she wanted to do was hide. She squeezed herself into places I didn’t even know a dog could fit. Seeing her slowly trade fear for trust has been incredibly rewarding, even though we still have a long road ahead.
She’s far from a “finished” dog, but every little step forward is a huge victory for her. I can’t wait to see who this sweet little girl grows into and whose hands she falls into❤️
Thank you for your interest in one of our Hero Babies! Before inquiring, we thought it was important to share a few of our policies.
Your Current Pets - We do require that your current dogs and cats are current on vaccines and spayed/neutered.
Adoptions - We do not have a shelter and are a foster-home based organization. We do require that you have an approved adoption application to schedule a meet and greet. You can fill out an adoption application on our website, www.herorescue.org/adopt. Once your application is approved it will be sent to the foster family that is currently caring for the dog. They will be able to provide information on likes, dislikes, personality, etc. They will also schedule a time for you to meet the dog. We do require a home visit prior to adoption.
Inquiries - If you would like more information on any dogs in the rescue, please email us at info@herorescue.org.
