Telly's Story

FAST FACTS:<br/>* 6 Years Old & 11lbs<br/>* Dog Friendly<br/>* Pee Pad Trained<br/>* Older Kids Welcome<br/>* Quiet and Calm Home Needed<br/><br/>Meet Telly, an adorable 11-pound sweetheart who is estimated to be around 6 years old. Rescued from a breeding and hoarding situation in Texas, Telly is discovering just how wonderful life can be in a loving home.<br/>Telly is affectionate, curious, brave, and incredibly loving. Her foster family describes her as a world-class cuddler who simply wants to be close to the person she trusts. She follows her favorite humans from room to room, always watching, listening, and taking in the world around her. Her adorable head tilts are impossible to resist and perfectly capture her sweet, inquisitive personality.<br/><br/>Since arriving in foster care, Telly has been a quiet and gentle companion. She enjoys lounging near her foster parent while they work from home and has settled in nicely with the resident dogs. While she doesn't actively seek out canine companionship just yet, she coexists peacefully with other small, moderate-energy dogs. She has only barked once so far and prefers spending her time snuggling, exploring, and keeping her person company.<br/><br/>Telly is pee pad trained and is currently working on crate training and outdoor potty habits. She is still a little nervous on a leash and can become distracted outside, so a home with a fenced yard where she can safely explore at her own pace may be ideal. She is very food motivated and has already started learning commands like down and wait. Despite her enthusiasm for treats, she shows no signs of food aggression or resource guarding.<br/><br/>Telly can be shy when meeting new people and has become very attached to her foster family. She may feel anxious when her person isn't nearby, but she is not destructive or vocal. When startled, she may seek comfort under a bed or in another cozy hiding spot until she feels safe again.<br/><br/>Telly would thrive in a patient, lower-key home with older children who can respect her need for time to adjust. Her future family should be committed to continuing her training, building her confidence, and helping her learn that the world is a safe place. In return, they'll gain a loyal best friend who wants nothing more than to love and be loved.<br/><br/>With her non-shedding coat, gentle nature, and irresistible face, Telly is ready to leave her past behind and become someone's devoted snuggle buddy. She would make a wonderful companion for many households, especially someone looking for a sweet, loving dog to share life's quieter moments.<br/><br/><br/>ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS, NO EXCEPTIONS:<br/><br/>*ADOPTION FEE: $375<br/><br/>*Be at least 21 years of age<br/><br/>*Have the knowledge and agreement of all adults living in the household<br/><br/>*Have approval from owner of residence (written in lease)<br/><br/>*Have a valid ID with current address (please provide proof of address if ID address is not up-to-date)<br/><br/>*Be approved as a suitable adoptive home by Fetching Tails Foundation<br/><br/>*Be prepared to make a lifetime commitment<br/><br/>*QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR POLICIES?
