My story

　　THIS IS TINSLEY! Sweet, silly Tinsley is definitely a velcro dog who is enjoying her second "puppy-hood." She spins for her supper - 20 or 30 times - depending on how quickly you move! She loves to be outside and play with her humans and her canine brothers. She LOVES to cuddle — and she’s really good at it! She would warm your bed and join you on the couch, if you let her. Tinsley came to DRC in very sad condition. At 4 years old, she weighed only 26.2 lbs, had infections in both ears, and was anemic. Despite that, once Tinsley arrived, she never looked back! Tinsley loves to go on car rides, knows sit, and is crate-trained and house-trained. She loves to see what you left out on the counter. She’s now a healthy 41 lbs, current on vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped, and spayed. Tinsley can be a bit reactive towards some dogs, but she also does well meeting other male and female dogs when the situation is right. Slow introductions are a must. She doesn't think much of small dogs and she does not like cats one bit! That’s not going to change so NO CATS! FENCED YARD IS REQUIRED. Tinsley would love an active family who likes to walk and hike. Tinsley is located in Colorado Springs, and she would love a new home by Thanksgiving! Suggested adoption fee: $400.
