About Tourmie

Tourmaline is a 10-year-old mixed-breed sweetheart weighing about 45 lbs who defies her age with an energy and playfulness that surprises everyone who meets her. While she looks and acts younger than her years, she’s ready to soak up the comforts of retirement and find some peace for the next chapter of her life. She walks beautifully on leash and, even though she can get a little excited around other dogs, she’d really thrive as the only dog in the household—something she’s never had the chance to experience. She welcomes all humans, including children, with a gentle, respectful manner. Tourmaline is independent but bonds quickly with those around her, shadowing her person through the house. You may hear a bark when you leave—it’s just her way of saying she values her time with you and misses you when you’re gone. Her easygoing spirit, love of treats, and enthusiasm for snuggling in her bed make her deeply endearing. She’s completely housebroken, cuddly, and eager for someone to finally choose her. Tourmaline was recently diagnosed with cancer, but her outlook still allows for life and love ahead. Her adoption fee is fully sponsored, and what she can’t repay you in years she’ll return in loyalty and affection. Her birthday places her under the steady, loving sign of Virgo—a true companion to the end. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
