Tanzi
About me
- Can I live with other dogs? Potentially - Tanzi is currently being dog tested at the Sanctuary. We have been told that Tanzi got along well with the family dogs (in her previous home).
- Can I live with teenagers? Yes - 11+ - Tanzi is accustomed to being around older children. She's quite large and energetic, which means she could unintentionally knock over a smaller child. For health and safety reasons, she should be placed in a home with children aged 11 and older.
- Can I live with young children? No
- Do I have any medical issues? Potentially - Tanzi is awaiting a vet check - Tuesday 21st April 2026. We will update her write up following the appointment. She is fully vaccinated - Next vaccination due 10th February 2027. She is also spayed.
- Can I live with cats? No - Tanzi has never lived with a cat before
- Am I good on the lead? No - Tanzi’s previous family mentioned that she tends to pull on the lead quite a bit. Based on our observations, she pulls when she’s interested in something, like a chicken or the cats on site. The team is currently focused on improving her loose lead walking. It’s important that her new adopters are active and steady on their feet, as they will need to manage her energy.
- What was the reason for my surrender? Tanzi came into our care because her previous owner's health was deteriorating, making it difficult for them to walk her.
- What am I like when I travel in a vehicle? Unknown at the moment. We've been informed that Tanzi is generally good in the car, but she tends to struggle with trips longer than 30 minutes. We will update her write up once she has travelled to our vets in the van (crated).
Calling all shepherd lovers!
Tanzi may have only been with us for a short time, but we’ve all quickly fallen in love with her! She has adapted beautifully and enjoys going for walks with our staff.
Full of energy, Tanzi loves to greet everyone with enthusiastic jumps, not quite aware of her size! She thrives on affection and is genuinely a sweet girl. We have a list of cues from her previous owners, and our team is working closely with her to discover the tricks she knows.
Tanzi is both muzzle trained and crate trained. Her previous owners reported that she was perfectly fine being crated for a few hours (2-3) and adapted well to that routine. It’s important for her to have a crate in her new home, as it helps maintain her established routine. Tanzi would benefit from adopters who ideally have large breed experience.
Stay tuned for updates on her progress! 😊
