Story
Tia – Snuggle enthusiastQuote from foster family: Tia is a snuggle enthusiast who believes personal space is overrated. This little lady loves nothing more than curling up on the couch, being right by your side, and giving sweet kisses. She has a long tail, and when she gets excited or happy to see you, she gives full body wiggles while her tail zig zags in happiness! Once she trusts you, she will fall deeply in love and become completely devoted to her human(s). Given the isolated lifestyle she came from, in a short time, she has made great progress -- learning to navigate a world that she has never known. With time and patience, she’ll continue to blossom into the most precious flower. Tia’s Woof-Facts Name: Tia Breed: Boston Terrier Beagle mix Weight: 27 lbs. Age: 3 years Gender: Female Health: Spayed and up to date on vaccinationsMore InfoForever home recommendations: Tia is looking for a patient, caring and loving home and would thrive with an experienced owner who can help her continue to build confidence. She did not have much exposure to the outside world in her previous home and has been learning to navigate new people and things and is making good progress. Tia will thrive in a quieter home environment that does not have a lot of people coming and going, since it takes her some time to warm up. Her ideal family will need to provide consistency and structure for her, and preferably, not be out of the house for long hours each day. Someone who works from home would be a bonus since Tia loves to be with her “person”. The human(s) in her forever home will also need to continue to help Tia feel more comfortable outside of the home, while understanding that she may need slower introductions to new people and things. Once Tia adjusts to her home environment and trusts her people, she is the sweetest, most cuddly couch-potato and companion. A fenced yard is preferred. Tia previously lived in an apartment with multiple other dogs. The dogs were cared for by their humans, however, they never experienced the outside world. RHF rescued 5 of the dogs, and they are all in separate foster homes learning how to live their best life. We’re looking for a forever home who will give Tia her very best forever lifeKids: Adult home preferred, home with teenage children may be considered since Tia is a bit timid and fearfulDogs: Got along fine with the multiple dogs while living in her former home. However, she’s more of a people person. She’s completely uninterested in her foster home’s parrot and cockatiel—she prefers to be cuddling with her humans! A home with another dog who is calm and confident may be beneficial, so that dog can help to show Tia the ropes, yet she has been doing fine in her foster home as the only dog. This will be discussed on case-by-case basis.Cats: Unknown?Crate trained: Work in progress. She sleeps soundly in the crate overnight and willingly go right to her crate when her foster mom says “time for bed”. She is also crated several times throughout the day so she can build confidence in being crated for longer periods of time. She currently can be left home alone for a few hours at a time and is feeling more comfortable as we make progress on that.House trained: Working on house training. With supervision, consistency, and frequent potty breaks, she is doing her business outside. She was previously paper-trained but has learned to potty outside in about a week.Leash manners: Currently leash training and her progress is impressive! She’s only just learned how to walk on a leash and with some guidance, she’s polite with her skills and doesn’t pull. Personality: Tia is a quick learner, having already mastered the stairs, collar wearing, the sit and down command, go to crate/time for bed (treats help too, of course). She is showing great signs that she can follow basic obedience and is eager to please the person she bonds with. She will follow your lead once she trusts you. Tia has a nice balance of energy and doesn’t need endless hours of exercise or demand constant playtime. She can be goofy at times and will get the zoomies. She also likes puzzle toys where she can use her nose to sniff out tasty treats. While she is well-mannered in the house, she should be supervised or crated when left alone until she gains more confidence and acclimates to her new environment. She is the perfect coworking companion, calmly laying in her dog bed while her foster mom works, so bonus points if you have a work-from-home situation. Tia needs time to adjust to new people and situations, but if you go slowly and let her warm-up on her own time, she’ll be your best friend. And, if you like to cook, she’ll be right by your side and will often lay at your feet (waiting for some scraps to fall to the ground – woof!).
