This is my #introduceyourself post.

I'm "the-dog-lady"

My name is Tammy and I live in the High Rockies of Colorado. Some of the residents in the area have begun calling me the-dog-lady, because of the work I do with dogs. I decided to start blogging about my experiences, so I will use it here on Steemit. I rescue, rehabilitate and re-home dogs, with the help and patience of my family and our big rottie, Roman. It isn't just a hobby with me, it's a passion. While I may post on subjects completely unrelated to dogs, most of my time is spent talking about dogs.

This picture is a case I am rehabilitating right now.

Her name is Curry. She will be ready for adoption soon.

I Rescue Rehabilitate and Re-home Dogs

A year ago, I hooked up with a local rescue after hearing of a dog they could not find a home for because of some serious behavioral problems. I am still rescuing dogs on my own, but now I take in the serious cases for the local rescue in exchange for dog food. I get the ones that are returned after being adopted, or kicked out of foster homes for serious behavior problems.

52 Dogs in Six Years

I have rehabilitated 50 dogs in 6 years on my own, and two in the last year with a local rescue. I love seeing a dog after it has been rehabilitated. The transformations are miraculous. It warms my heart to see it, and breaks my heart to let them go. I know I cannot keep them, but I still get attached. Who wouldn't? Each dog has a unique personality that I get to discover as their inner dog becomes more stable. I cannot describe the elation I feel when a dog I have rehabilitated is adopted.

Coming to Steemit!

I am excited to share my experience and help people correct problems with their own dogs. Having happy well adjusted dogs in our lives makes the world a better place. I am always available for questions, advice and conversations about dogs.

Later Gaters! ;)
