About Tahu
PLEASE NOTE THAT UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE UNABLE TO FLY OUR ANIMALS EITHER WITHIN WA OR INTERSTATE
NAME: Tahu
BEFORE SAFE ESPERANCE: Came to us from the pound.
BREED: American Staffordshire Terrier X - general breed traits - they are quite high energy, playful, affectionate and intelligent but do require training as they can be headstrong. They are very social with adults and children and are extremely loyal but can suffer from separation anxiety if left for long periods. Their sociability with dogs is a facet that needs work from an early age.
ASSETS: Easygoing, affectionate, devoted, eager to please, friendly, obedient, active, sweet and playful just about sums this gorgeous girl up. She's an absolute sweetheart with tons of love to give to the right family.
FAVOURITE THINGS: People! She loves to be around her people and is so happy when involved with anything you are doing. She also loves to play fetch, chasey and tug of war and looks forward to her walks and playing with her ball.
ENDEARING FEATURES: She's a very loving, loyal and intelligent companion. She has a beautiful temperament and is a complete delight to be around.
OTHER ANIMALS: She is a little fearful around other dogs so needs to be the only pet in her new home. She is not interested in other dogs when out and does not appreciate them in her space. Tahu needs slow and gentle introduction to dogs so must be kept on lead if there are other dogs around. She is untested with cats and small animals so we won't rehome her with anything small and furry.
GENERAL INFO: Tahu walks well on her lead but can pull a little when she first goes out so some ongoing training in this area will help. Tahu will bark to alert you that someone is at the door. She suffers from some separation anxiety and will bark or be a little destructive when left alone so she has been crate trained and will use her crate when she wants some quiet time or when left at home. Her owner will need to continue to work with her on this to make her feel secure and confident. Tahu also loves the beach and a swim in the sea. She knows a couple of commands and should pick up new ones easily as she's a clever girl. Tahu loves to sleep on the end of your bed and will try to sneak under the covers when you're not watching. She's a gentle girl and a big baby who will flourish in the right home and environment. She is housetrained. She is currently being fostered with a child and is very gentle and loving around him.
ESSENTIALS for Tahu:
- a quiet, loving home with someone who works from home, is there for most of the day or can take her with them when they go out;
- an owner who will allow her to adjust to her new surroundings in her own time;
- professional training for socialisation and exposure in a safe and controlled environment, giving her the foundation she lacks;
- good daily exercise to help keep her happy and healthy;
- a well fenced, secure yard with some grass and interesting things for her to sniff and explore;
- access inside and out as she chooses, to sleep inside at night and be included as part of the family.
Tahu needs a quiet,calm and gentle home and could live with kind, dog savvy children over 10 years of age.
If Tahu sounds like the perfect girl for you, please send an enquiry and we'll be in touch soon.
