Adoption Profile
Background
Hazel, Gretzyl, and Chavez are three siblings who have always stayed together. They lived outdoors with their mama dog until the trio was surrendered to TACS. All three are well-socialized, happy-go-lucky pups who have been around many people and are now continuing to learn and explore more of the world.
Description
Gretzyl is a quick-learning, fun-loving puppy who is eager to please her people. She enjoys new challenges, has excellent recall, and has moved past her chewing phase—now simply enjoying appropriate toys. She needs at least one good walk or run each day to keep her happy and fulfilled. Gretzyl is affectionate, people-oriented, and loves being the center of attention in the best way.
🐾 Dog Friendly
Yes — she loves meeting and playing with other dogs.
🐱 Cat Friendly / Prey Drive
Unknown with cats, but does enjoy chasing birds
👧 Kid Friendly
Yes - great with kids
🦮 Leash Skills
Walks well; may pull a little but is easily redirected.
🚻 House Trained
Yes
🍖 Food & Training
Gretzyl may have some food sensitivities and is currently testing what works best for her - currently on Lamb protein which seems to agree with her !
She is learning basic commands including sit, down, stay, and leave it. She understands “no,” and recall is fairly good.
She is learning to pull less on leash, not jumping up and is working on being gentle during play.
🚗 Vehicle Behaviour
Yes — rides well in the car.
🐾 Other Notes
Affectionate and people-focused
Energetic and enjoys outdoor activities
Thrives with routine, engagement, and positive reinforcement
Gretzyl is currently in her teenage phase so when she is bored she may act out by chewing on things she shouldn’t - typically just means she is trying to tell you she needs a walk, some play time or mental stimulation
