Meet Tonya, the sweet soul who's just waiting for the right moment to bloom! 🌼 This delightful pup has been part of the HERO family for a few months now, but she's taken her time to adjust. You see, Tonya is a little shy and can be quite nervous around people. But here's the thing—underneath all that shyness lies a heart bursting with love and trust just waiting to be unlocked! 💖 Imagine a cozy, peaceful home—no chaos, no small children—just a place for Tonya to feel safe and cherished. She dreams of a calm environment where she can receive all that one-on-one attention. 🏠 Her journey has been slow, especially because her current foster home is bustling with other dogs, making her feel a bit overwhelmed and retreat into her shell. Tonya is mostly crate trained, though she will need some leash training since her current routine lacks those regular walks. This darling girl is getting there, but a little push in the right direction will do wonders! 🦮 She’s also primarily housetrained with a doggy door, but remember, she’s still a lovable puppy and can use some guidance to become fully confident in her new home. Here’s the beauty of it all: once Tonya feels safe and loved, she transforms into the most affectionate, cuddly companion you could ever dream of! 🤗 With patience, love, and understanding, she promises to return all that affection times ten! Tonya weighs in at about 35-40 lbs, is 8 months old, spayed, heartworm negative, and up to date on all her vaccines. While she currently shares her life with other dogs and has lived with cats, she hasn't had much interaction with them, so her cat-friendliness is still a mystery. If you feel a warm tug in your heart for this little gem, and you're committed to providing a stable, loving home, then Tonya might just be the perfect match for you. She’s in East TN but can easily be transported to her forever home. ✈️✨ To take the first step towards making a true connection with Tonya, please apply through the Buddy App!
