About Tamara

Tamara is a lovely German Shepherd who came to the shelter with her sister Tia after living with multiple dogs. She's a bit shy and cautious due to limited exposure to the outside world. However, with a patient and understanding owner, Tamara is sure to flourish into a devoted and loving companion. Currently, she’s learning the ropes of walking on a leash and would do best in a home with a securely fenced yard where she can explore and build her confidence at her own pace. Tamara has recently discovered the joy of toys, particularly puzzle games that stimulate her mind. If you have the time and patience to help her adjust, you’ll find a loyal friend in Tamara.
