Hello - I'm Tami! You were likely drawn to my picture because I am gorgeous, but my personality in real life is sure to melt your heart. I am affectionate and sweet, and my whole face and body light up when I see my people. I am brand new to Minnesota and still settling into my foster home where I am good with everyone, including the gentle dogs and the suspicious cats. I love being with people, but I don't really know how to live inside yet - everything is new and I want to crawl into little spaces to feel safe. I don't quite understand how I am supposed to do my "business" with everyone staring at me, so I hold it in until I can get some privacy; my foster family is really happy when I do that outside. I wish I could tell my whole story so you could understand why I sometimes skitter away when people try to grab me or put things over my head. I was found in Alabama as a stray young mama, trying to keep my puppies safe. Some nice people brought us into rescue, where I've been getting healthier and am filling out my skinny 45 lb frame. I am now in Minnesota looking for my forever home. My foster family has very quickly fallen in love with me and would love to keep me, but they think there is a super special home for me. I am very smart and very sensitive, and my foster mom thinks my ideal home would be with someone who has experience with dogs like me and who can give me time, patience and heart to support me as I build confidence and trust. I would love to be with someone who understands my herding instincts (so they can keep my brain busy and don't trip over me when I crouch at their feet!). My foster mom also says that I deserve someone who will be very devoted to me, as I will be a very devoted, special companion. The right dog friend would be nice to help me come out of my shell and learn to be a dog, but some dogs can be a bit overwhelming and scary for me. My foster mom says she's pretty sure that I am meant to be somebody's Soul Dog... is that somebody you? -------------------------------------------- All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spayed/neutered if the dog is over 6 months of age at the time of adoption. Please note that the majority of our dogs in rescue are from shelters where they have been found as strays or abandoned. Their breed description is based on our very best educated guess based on physical characteristics and their dispositions. If they came to our rescue as an owner surrender, the breed description will be listed as provided by the previous owner.
