Tamera

My story

Tamera is a one-year-old, 21-pound Dachshund mix with an adorably unique look. Her low-rider frame and petite but slightly stretched-out body is just too cute! Tamera came to HFG terrified and under socialized. She has been in a foster home for over a month learning to be brave and making much progress! She is very shy with humans at the start, but outgoing with dogs, so if you have dogs already, she might be your girl! In her foster home, there are 3 other dogs, and she has been in playgroups up with up to 7 dogs. Confident dogs help her learn the ropes of her new environment and show her that interacting with humans can be really fun! She greets her favorite people with happy tail wags and excited wiggles. Her foster family loves her. They say she is a great kisser! Still, Tamera remains cautious with new faces. So, she’ll do best with someone who understands the value of letting her approach on her own terms. Once she feels safe, she’ll reward you with her trust and her affection. Tamera loves to explore and will happily trot around, sniffing out all the interesting scents in her environment. She often pauses to look back at her person as if to say, “Come see what I found!” With a calm, patient adopter, Tamera will continue to blossom and show the loving, curious, and loyal companion she’s meant to be. Tamera’s $250 adoption fee includes spay, vaccinations, microchip, and a wellness visit at Phoenix Mountain Animal Hospital. To meet Tamera, call 602-971-1334 for an appointment. She is not at the shelter, so an appointment is required.
