History- Tinkerbell came into rescue after she started getting a little too wild at the shelter she was at.  She had been in custody for about 6 months and was just too excited for people to handle when they would take her out of her kennel..  One of the supervisors asked us to take her so she could run as she just needed to stretch out and play.. Sure enough we brought her into our program and she probably ran for about an hour just all over the property-- she was so excited to be out.  Fast forward- she got adopted and started jumping the woman's fence- she was bored and the lady decided she was no longer going after her and instead got another dog.  So now she is back with us and doing great just needs her forever home..

Temperament- Very sweet with everyone.  She loves new people and new dogs -- she would make an amazing greeter for any public place.. She is happiest when she can see as many people as possible to keep her mind active..

Energy Level-  Mid level energy.

Dogs/Cats- She loves to play with the other dogs..  They can run and wrestle non-stop..  She gets along with the cats and kittens very well with no issues at all.. She just loves everyone and everything...

Housetrained- She is great in the house.. Hose and crate trained perfectly.. No accidents ever..

Tinkerbell would make a wonderful apartment dog for someone who is active- someone who jogs or goes hiking or likes to spend time downtown in public hanging out..  She absolutely loves people and so visiting lots of people in the evening and sleeping in an apartment all day would be right up her alley!!! She is the perfect combination of social butterfly and laid back couch potato.. She is a perfect girl as far as socialization and being a perfect companion however she does have a few faults.. She is terrified of fireworks/gunshots and thunder and she can jump my 6' wood privacy fence with no problem..  However when she does jump I can meet her at the end of the ditch bank and open my car door and she will hop right inor she will go visit a neighbor who might be home.. She loves car rides!!! This dog would be a perfect traveling companion-- maybe for someone who lives in an RV or a truck driver who needs a companion.. This would be right up her alley-- nothing better for her than being out and about..
