T-A-N-G-O! While I cannot confirm her dancing abilities, I can definitely tell you this girl will keep you on your toes! Tango is a 2 year old, 50lb beauty with lots of energy as she is a GSD mix with a healthy dose of Malinios and Australian shepherd. Therefore she will make an EXCELLENT running and hiking partner! She will need an adopter prepared to give her a good bit of daily physical and mental exercise plus training reinforcement.
Tango came back to SSR undersocialized as she was a pandemic puppy. She had strong reactivity to strangers and other dogs, which she worked hard to minimize over several months before going to extended training with Sadie's Rules K9 in Nellyford, VA where she currently resides as a boarder.
Since going to Sadie's, she has greatly improved her social skills as can be seen on their social media where she has been integrated into the larger pack, playing nicely with the other dogs, and enjoying pack trail walks. She has completed their training program so she will know how to sit, down, stay, come, heel, and place whether it be on or off leash! Training was conducted using e-collar and adopters must be willing to continue its use.
Prior to attending training, the following information was true though the trainer will have the most up-to-date information:

Tango was transferred from a rescue partner July 17, 2021 and is a Parvo survivor. She was adopted out as a 5 month old puppy, but was recently returned to the rescue September 27, 2022 due to changes in her family life where the owners were unable to provide Tango with the activity, training, and socialization she needs. Tango will require an owner who can help her build her trust and confidence in the world. She has basic obedience and command training, is house trained, and has a lot of energy she needs to expend. She loves to play ball! It takes her some time to warm up to strangers, but once she is comfortable she’s very playful. Tango will require a strong leader who can teach her that new things and people aren’t scary, and someone who can be patient with her as she adapts to a new environment. She is very intelligent, and once she trusts you she is all yours! Please consider opening your home to Tango, as she deserves a loving home and a patient leader.
