My story

Female - 3 years - 65 lb - Microchipped - Spayed - VAHello! My name is Tam and I am a 3-year-old, 65 lb spayed female. I am already housetrained. My crate-training is a work in progress as I currently don’t like to stay in one while you’re away. I’ve been working with my foster mom to build up my tolerance for being left home alone uncrated and am doing well! I love being pet and receiving affection from people I know! I can be a little nervous when first meeting new people, give me a little bit of space to approach you first and then we’ll be friends! I have done well with men, women, and older children. I love goofy play with my foster mom! I do well with other dogs on outings or in the yard at my foster home, but I prefer to be the only dog inside my home as I don’t reliably share my living space well with others. I have done well with the cats at my foster home and wouldn’t mind having some cat siblings! I enjoy playing with stuffed toys or chewing on hooves. I like spending time in the yard but I can easily clear a fence which is something to be aware of if my new home has a fenced yard! I have been working on building my confidence in the world around me while at my foster home and would love a home where I could join for hikes or other outdoor adventures! I walk very well on lead and ride well in the car after a little boost in! I have already learned some basic training cues such as sit, down, come, and leave it. Going for outings and training together helps me bond with my people and I am ready to bond with a family of my very own—could that be with you? Follow me on Facebook:  #EchoDogTam For more information, please contact adoptions@echodogs.org.   Echo Dogs fosters dogs in many states. Visit www.echodogs.org/available-dogs to see more of our dogs. Transportation for the adopted dog IS available. Remember, we are an all-volunteer foster rescue organization - we DO NOT have a physical shelter to visit. Our minimum adoption donation is $350. All dogs are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations and micro-chipped. Puppies under 6 months old may not be spayed/neutered. This would be the responsibility of the adopter at their own expense. Proof of spay/neuter will be required! To review our adoption procedure and submit an online application, visit: www.echodogs.org/procedureMarch 19, 2026, 10:59 am

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Tam, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
