Story
My name is Tilly, I’m a Morkie which means I’m half Maltese, half Yorkie. I have special needs that will be required of my forever home so that I stay on the path of being a good, cute little girl, who wants to please. Foster mom has been so patient and knows the right home is out there! I’ll require a home with no other dogs and no small children. There’s no way around this because of my past. I don’t necessarily require a fenced yard, although a fenced yard would be awesome as I love running and playing and require regular exercise to help me with my energy. Unfortunately, dog parks aren't an option because I never learned my manners and I don’t always get along with other dogs. I love to play with dogs I approve of, I'm a rough and tumble kind of girl, but other dogs I just want to bite! I love snuggling and getting love and attention, but there are rules that need to be in place for me to get your attention. You see, I had to take care of myself for a long time, and I wasn’t treated very nice, which led to my taking control resulting in combative tendencies. I was found on the streets after having two homes in the first two years of my life. I require someone experienced with challenging dominate personalities or someone who's willing to learn how to manage my behavioral needs so I don’t need to feel I'm still in charge. My foster mom has been reinforcing the rules so I've been doing so much better. I’ve learned how to sit, lay and come and I take treats very gently. While my meals are being prepared, I always lie down or sit patiently and quietly waiting until my bowl is offered. You see, I really want to be a good girl and show you how happy I am when you get home from work with tail wags and kisses! I'm learning how to play, it's something new to me and I hope to learn more about how fun toys can be! I have the silkiest fine hair that needs regular grooming, it snarls easy and then they pull my skin and it hurts but I am learning to trust people when they touch my feet or clean my eyes. I’m mostly potty-trained. This means I can go several hours in a kennel or in my play yard when foster mom goes to work without soiling, and I use pee pads well too when she leaves them out. I do mark every once in awhile when I am in the house just to show that I own the space. I am working hard at correcting that and it is a work in progress for sure! I’ll need socialization in a safe environment because I’m very protective of my humans and don’t want anyone coming near them; I guard them like crazy! It’s not that I’m bad or mean, it’s just my need to be in charge that drives me and is an important reason I find a home that understands me and will always work with me to keep me on track. I know it sounds like I have a lot of baggage and require a lot of work and care, but for the right person who understands, it won’t be work at all and my future will be awesome! I am totally worth it! --------------------------------------------All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spay/neuter before adoption unless age is a factor with a puppy younger than 6-12 months at the time of adoption.
