Meet Tilley- a special girl needing to find a special family!

Meet Tilley!

Tilley is extremely special.
The cliff notes- Failed by humans & a rescue & the worst part- a wrong diagnosis. Meningitis. Hearing loss. Smart. Athletic. Needs an experienced handler. Sweet as pie.

Many will flock to us to discuss Tilley because she is a beautiful girl. People see her breed and instantly want her. Our rescue will be selecting a home in which meets all of Tilley’s needs. Her ideal home would be: a patient & experienced handler, fenced yard & no small dogs/and or the handler understands that Tilley is not to be with small dogs. No small children. Breed experience.

Tilley had a bacterial infection that was left untreated and intern she lost majority of her hearing. She can hear high pitched sounds from time to time but not enough to utilize a traditional recall. Tilley is e-collar trained and hand signal trained. We are more than happy to show you her communication abilities and refer you to a local trainer who can further educate and or provide brush up sessions for the future.

Tilley is extremely lovey and once she connects and knows you are safe, is the sweetest doll baby there is (see video). The inherent behavior that comes with hearing loss is aggression like behaviors so we likely will pick a home with no young children. If snuck up on, or came up on from behind, Tilley will show teeth and growl to let someone know that she is in defense mode. To turn her “off” we get her eye contact first and then signal to what you want or need from her. She is incredibly well behaved when communicated in this manner.

In her stay with us, Tilley has gotten along with other dogs when properly introduced but with her hearing loss and general lack of experience of the public/general adopter we have to advise that it is in her best interest not to the left unattended with small/energetic dogs. Tilley is stressed by their unpredictability.

True to the breed, Tilley is extremely smart. If in the wrong hands, Tilley could be in danger. Our rescue us committed to Tilley (& the rest of our pups) for the entirety of her life. Mals need consistency, confidence, structure & the ability to receive mental & physical exercise for them to thrive and be successful.

Tilley is crate trained, potty trained, house broken (will hold it for 24 hours if she had to!) & UTD on all vaccines and fully vetted.

If you think you are up for the challenge of a wonderful girl, please call or txt Shannon to discuss more in depth at 919-442-7720 or srmink77@gmail.com
