The bigger dogs make her a little nervous. She is working on leash walking, potty training and crate training. She is currently 23 lbs with long legs. She is just a sweet girl looking for love and a place to lounge around! Tammy is available for adoption with Saving Grace Dog Rescue of San Antonio.

Story
Squirt is all about spreading joy! He is a playful young pup with a curious nature and friendly personality. While fetch might not be his thing, Squirt makes up for it with his personality. He loves to play and run around, but also loves hanging out and napping with his favorite human. He generally seems to get along with dogs. He may be a tad shy meeting new people, but give him a minute and he will be your best friend. He is an unknown around kids, but due to his size, he would be best with kids over 10 years. He’s a pro on the leash, making walks a delightful adventure. Just be prepared for some toy evisceration—Squirt’s enthusiasm knows no bounds! Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to welcome Squirt into your home and experience the joy of having a furry friend by your side!
