About Tilly (Basenji) in Portland, OR 97222

Tilly is waiting for you at Underdogs Rock! Rescue in Portland, OR 97222. Meet Tilly! Saved from an overcrowded California shelter, transported to safety in Oregon, and ready to join your pack. Tilly is a 6 month, 25 pound girl who is the perfect mix of confident, cautious, and curious. The shelter had her listed as a "Basenji mix" and based on her size, coloring, and temperament, there might be some truth to it! Tilly is a silly, social, happy gal who seems to be content in many situations. Playful dogs in the home? Great! She'll love it. Respectful kids at home? Yay!! More friends! Only have some boring adults who like to sit around and read? That's ok! Get Tilly her library card and she'll be happy to curl up next to you with a good book. She's been learning her leash skills and enjoys walks around the neighborhood, taking in all the sights and sounds with curiosity and a little caution. She is a pro at potty training and hasn't had any issues in her foster home as long as she's given plenty of opportunities to be outside. She's also learning to appreciate puppy naps in her crate and has relaxed with her kong with minimal protests for 3 hours during the day. She's willing to sleep in it all night but would prefer to be next to you in the bed. But get ready - when it's time to let her out, your house and yard become an obstacle course for Puppy Parkour! She tears through the space with zoomies and excitement in rejoining her friends. Tilly is a sharp girl and doesn't miss much. She is at the perfect age for positive reinforcement training classes, and with her keen focus, agile body (thank you, Puppy Parkour), eagerness to please, and food motivation, we are sure she will be the top of her class. She is so excited about life and doesn't want to miss ANYTHING, so don't be surprised if she tries to sneak out the front door to tag along with you! Her new family must be committed to creating a safe environment for Tilly to thrive. She is on
