Tilly is a small 4 year old female rat terrier mix, who arrived at Save Me via Tennessee. She is spayed and is in good health. Tilly is very curious about everything in her environment, is affectionate and loves a cuddle on a lap. She appears to be house broken and responds well to regularly timed exercise. She was not a big eater at first but with the fresh air and exercise, she is now eating two regular meals. Tilly has beautiful brown eyes, a delicate build with long legs, short hair and lovely tan markings. She seems quite athletic as she can jump high with ease and has good balance. However, she also uses those skills to try and escape from her collar or harness when walking on leash. Her build is so long and slight, it is a challenge to get a harness to fit properly and stay in place. Even in the house, she does not like to wear her collar. She is still a flight risk.
When meeting people, Tilly is cautious. She is good with other dogs. In the house, she mostly comes when she is called and can climb stairs. Her prey drive is strong, her hearing is excellent and she notices every squirrel, chipmunk and rabbit. She may have separation anxiety and so far, likes to be with our other dog if we are not home.

At night, Tilly sleeps in her open crate and generally stays there all night. Tilly is still working on her leash manners and acceptance of other people.
