Dutchess's Story

Dutchess is a full blooded 9 month old Tibetan Spaniel (Tibby), around 12 pounds. Here is a little about the breed: Tibby's are very cat like. They like to climb and create mischief and some can be huge escape artists so a secure fenced in yard is a must. <br/>The Tibetan Spaniel (Tibby) is not a well known breed in the USA, but the breed is over 2000 years old and gaining popularity. A Tibby's coat is very like a Golden Retriever. Very little trimming is needed, a scissor snip here and there is usually fine. Dutchess was born 10/4/2025 and still in puppy stages. <br/><br/>Dutchess is a smart, soft dog and did not do well in the environment she spent her first 8 months in. She needed a lot more attention than she was getting and got lost in the herd.<br/><br/>In her foster home, Dutchess has blossomed from a very fearful, timid dog, to a happy member of her foster family. She is fine with other dogs, and cats. She is crate trained and about 99% potty trained so she still needs some work there. She comes when called for a treat and is learning Sit. She has learned the dog door like a pro. <br/>Dutchess still has fear issues. She needs a family that can be patient but stern. No small children because she will panic if picked up incorrectly. Older children are fine. Fear also makes her a flight risk so she needs a fenced yard and to be on a leash when out . She has so much to offer but the first two weeks will be hard as she transitions so she is going to need people who are patient. The best way to begin a potential adoption is to directly email storkwoods@comcast.net and request an application.
