e love and attention. It’s in these moments that her sweet, playful, and wonderfully goofy nature comes out in full. This smart girl knows sit, paw, and catch! SAFE DOG MEETS AT THE SHELTER: .tjoconnoradoptioncenter/what-we-do/safe-dog-meets OTHER PETS: Tinkerbell has done well with smaller dogs during her time at TJO. However, she would thrive best as the only pet in a home, as she can become uncomfortable when other dogs receive attention. Should be only pet OWNER EXPERIENCE: Tinkerbell would do best with an adopter who has prior experience with positive reinforcement, and understands that some dogs need extra time to adjust. She’s a sensitive girl who will benefit from a patient, understanding owner who can give her the support she needs during her transition, making sure to allow her to set the pace. Some Experience KIDS: Tinkerbell is a cautious dog who takes her time warming up to new people and environments. She can be a bit skittish around sudden sounds and movements, so she thrives best in a calm, predictable home. Because of this, Tinkerbell would do best with children aged 15 and older who understand how to approach dogs gently and respectfully. Any potential adopters with kids should plan for a meet-and-greet to ensure everyone feels comfortable. Kids 15+ (Must Meet First) ACTIVITY LEVEL:Tinkerbell has a moderate activity level, enjoying a mixture of playtime and relaxation. She loves being outdoors and can be playful when the mood strikes, but she’s just as happy lounging around and taking it easy. She would do well with regular walks and some fun time outside, followed by plenty of time to relax and unwind at home. A combination of exercise and mental enrichment will help meet her needs. Couch Potato VETERINARY CARE: Routine LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Tinkerbell will thrive with positive reinforcement, using treats, praise, and patience to help her feel safe and build trust while reinforcing new skills and fun tricks. Because she can be nervous around sudden noises, quick movements, and new people, she’ll need continued support to grow her confidence at her own pace. Gentle, exposure to new experiences at her pace will help her feel more secure over time. With understanding and encouragement, Tinkerbell can blossom into a more confident and comfortable girl.
