Tamela is a STAFF FAVORITE pet! Here’s what adoption staff member, Brandi has to say about her:
Did you know that Tamela is incredibly smart? She knows sit, down, paw, and spin! Tamela is eager to please for just a few treats! Tamela is very shy and took a bit longer than most dogs to warm up to the staff, but once she did, she was ready to show us her playful and goofy side! This just means that Tamela will likely be very shy once she meets a new person for the first time. A little time, patience, and treats will go a long way in gaining her trust! If you were to come in and view her in her kennel, she will likely seem very intimidating by barking and jumping on her kennel door, but she really just wants her space to be hers. Please consider giving Tamela a chance to show you just how great she is, she is honestly the sweetest girl.
