My story

　　Tally up for the belly!

　　Hi guys! My name is Tally and I am so grateful to be here! I am a 1 year old, 16 lb, female spayed Spaniel mix. I was rescued from Mexico in pretty dire conditions. I was at the horrible ESLR shelter, neglected and terrified. I have finally found warmth and safety at my foster home and I am so grateful that I can't stop smiling! I have mastered bathroom training with sufficient breaks during the day, do really well in the crate too. Leash is till not my friend and I get frozen with fear. My past trauma will take time to heal and I would love help and patience with the leash training and only positive reinforcement.

　　I am a very shy girl and I am the type of dog who will find her person. I have become very attached to my mama and not so much with the others at home, however, I am opening up slowly. Despite this, I pawmise that I have never opened my mouth to nip or caused any harm to anyone. To the person she I attach to, I am the sweetest girl ever and LOVE to cuddle/receive attention. I am not high energy and I am a really low maintenance dog but love to explore in the yard multiple times a day. I dont go on walks really, so yard is my outside space. I am ok around other dogs, but not inclined to be playful, same with cats. Since I am still decompressing, being around young kids may scare me.

　　I know I come with a past but I am working hard to overcome my trauma. Once I find my person, the love is unreal! My tail is always wagging and I never bark! I would like a calmer house, and perhaps just 1 or 2 adults or a grown up calm kid. A dog in the house might make me a bit more confident but I am good with or without one. I do not need company all the time and can stay by myself too, but would appreciate not being left alone all day, everyday. If you think you have a small space at home and big space in your heart for me, I'd fit right in.
