Itsy

Introducing Itsy! <br/>This little gal has been staying with her foster dad since October 15, learning new skills and showing us more of her personality. His report? Curious and energetic outdoors, a happy couch potato indoors—and very enthusiastic about mealtime! <br/>Itsy loves her daily walks in the forest and on the beach. She walks very nicely on her leash and will gladly remind her foster dad if they’re running late! She prefers time to explore, sniff, and enjoy the scenery without being rushed.<br/>She’s also been making dog friends! With proper introductions, Itsy fit right in with a group of large dogs during a visit. Fetch isn’t really her thing, but running alongside a playmate who’s fetching? Absolutely! She has shown interest in cats but hasn’t chased them.<br/>Itsy is shy and fearful around unfamiliar people, and earning her trust takes time and patience. She’s still working on focusing on her handler and coming when called. Her foster dad describes her as a beach “free thinker,” so she isn’t ready for off-leash adventures. She also experiences some separation anxiety and anxiety during car rides.<br/>One skill that remains a work in progress: resisting the urge to roll in something stinky. If it smells terrible, Itsy believes it belongs on her shoulder! <br/>We don’t know much about her past, but she was severely underweight when she arrived in late September. She loves to eat, and her food motivation is helpful as she learns. She came in at just under 30 lbs, and is now a bit over. Her foster dad also wonders whether she might have some sighthound in her—she’s very attentive to movement and what’s happening around her.<br/>Itsy needs someone who will let her build trust at her own pace, continue helping her gain confidence, and appreciate her balance of outdoor adventure and indoor relaxation.<br/>Could you be her person? Reach out to Tillamook K9 Rescue to learn more about Itsy, and please share to help her find her home! We are also not able to determine exactly what breed she is, whippet-n-husky is a guess! - she was 29 lbs when she was brought in and has gained about 5 lbs since we have had her. she now is a hefty 34 lbs! :-)
