Rescue Dog Behavior Changes Week by Week
Bringing home a rescue dog means observing their behavior changes week by week. Learn what to expect beyond the 3-3-3 rule and how to support your new.
Meet Tinsel, a delightful puppy from our Emergency Christmas Crew! This sweet girl is incredibly social and confident, thriving in the company of people, dogs, and cats of all ages and sizes. She's a happy pup who loves being part of the action, whether it's playing with other animals or snuggling up with her human companions. Tinsel is already crate trained and making excellent progress with leash skills and house manners, showing her intelligence and eagerness to learn.
As a Mastiff and Rottweiler mix, Tinsel is expected to grow into a large and impressive dog. These breeds are known for their loyalty, strength, and protective instincts. Mastiffs are often gentle giants, while Rottweilers are intelligent and devoted. Tinsel's potential Beagle influence might add a playful, curious streak. She is highly food-motivated and picks up commands quickly, making her a fantastic candidate for continued obedience training and mental enrichment.
Tinsel is looking for a committed family ready to provide ongoing training and socialization to help her develop into a well-mannered adult. Given her large-breed potential, a home with space for her to grow and a commitment to daily exercise will be ideal. She enjoys adventures but is equally happy to be a snuggle bug. Her adopters should be patient and prepared to manage her car/motion sickness, hoping she outgrows it with positive experiences. A home with a canine companion would be a wonderful bonus for this loving pup!
