Tammy - Rhodesian Ridgeback Dog for Adoption in Syracuse, New York

Meet Tammy Wynette
Tammy Wynette was the fourth born of Reba's litter of 8, and this sweet girl has such a gentle little soul. Her mom, Reba, was rescued from the shelter after being there for about a month. When she was picked up, she appeared pregnant, and a vet visit confirmed she was a little over halfway through her pregnancy. Reba went to her foster home and, right on time, delivered 8 healthy puppies in the bathroom. It was quick, easy, and everyone was healthy as could be. Reba was a wonderful mom, and each puppy has grown into their own unique personality.
