Story
Good with other dogs • Food motivated • Untested with cats and children
Fan Tan is a sweet and timid little girl who is still learning to trust, but she’s making great progress. Tall and leggy, she’s a bit of a shy observer, but she enjoys treats and likes her foster dog sister, so she would do well in a home with another dog.
She’s a talkative pup, often making a cute trilling sound, and while she doesn’t bark, she will let out a little howl. So far, she hasn’t had any accidents in her crate and mostly uses her puppy pads. She’s still learning about potty training, and although she’s been taken outside, she hasn’t yet pottyed outside due to the cold weather.
Fan Tan had a grooming session to remove matting, which left her with very little fur, but she enjoys lounging in her doggie bed and savoring her meals. While she hasn't shown interest in toys just yet, she enjoys her mealtimes and the company of her foster dog sister.
She’s still adjusting to her new environment, and once she gets settled, she sleeps through the night. She can be a bit restless at times, so giving her space for a time-out is helpful. TV seems to unsettle her—the bright images and noises can be overwhelming.
Although Fan Tan is still learning to accept being held, she’s a total sweetheart and would thrive in a home with a confident dog to show her the ropes. She’s going to make a wonderful companion once she feels fully at ease!
Thank you for your interest in adopting a dog from Little Dog Rescue. Our dogs come from a variety of sources and backgrounds. They are all in need of adopters that have patience, an understanding of where these dogs have come from, and that there will be an adjustment time when they transition into their forever home. This can include learning basic commands, walking on leash and potty training. Some dogs will pick up on your routine and expectations faster than others. Potty accidents will happen. We find that positive reinforcement, consistency, and routine from the adopter achieves the best results.
We are a small, all volunteers team and give 100% of our efforts towards doing right by these pups. We are often juggling many responsibilities at the same time and do our very best to process inquiries and applications in a timely manner. We do prioritize inquiries that have a submitted application on file through the Little Dog Rescue website.
We do our best to accurately assign breed designations, however we are unable to guarantee 100% accuracy. Sometimes we only have the dogs appearance to go on.
Our adoption fees are thoughtfully considered. The adoption fee is not a purchase price for the dog. It is a fee that is designed to support the overall work of our rescue. Highly desirable dogs and puppies are intentionally listed with a higher adoption fee. This is done to help offset the enormous medical expenses we incur when taking in older pups and special needs medical dogs whose adoption fees do not come close to covering their expenses. In addition, the vast majority of our dogs are brought in from out of state and incur transport fees along with their medical and acquisition costs. We ask that you take all of these things into consideration, and we look forward to finding a great match for your family.
