Meet the delightful and spirited Tina, a fabulous 11-year-old Chihuahua/Mini Pinscher mix who is just waiting to find her perfect match! 🐾 Born around October 2014, this sweet girl has quite the story. Rescued as a stray in 2019 in the bustling Dallas area, Tina was fortunate enough to find her way into a loving foster home, and later, a forever home. Unfortunately, due to her previous owner's age and circumstances, Tina needs a new forever family to shower her with love! ❤️ Tina is a bit of a superstar when it comes to her diabetes! Diagnosed in 2020, she’s a pro at taking her insulin shots twice a day right after her meals. Talk about a trooper! She knows that these little shots help her feel fabulous, and she waltzes right over for her dose with an adorable wag of her tail. 🐶✨ House trained and a crate lover, Tina takes her nighttime snoozes in her cozy crate and is ready to cuddle up the next day. She's already spayed and vaccinated, making her a low-maintenance gal! Despite being a bit on the chubby side at 10.5 lbs, Tina is eager to shed some pounds and enjoy life to the fullest. When it comes to relationships, Tina is a socialite at heart! She gets along well with other small dogs and possesses a gentle tolerance for larger ones too—only when they respect her space. Just a heads up, car rides aren’t her favorite activity, but she has the spirit of a lion when it comes to safeguarding her home. You’ll hear her delightful bark announcing the arrival of visitors—just like a little Rottweiler! 🐕🔒 With a heart full of love, once Tina warms up to you, she becomes your shadow. She adores her special caregivers and comes alive in their presence! Tina showcases that same gentleness and patience with older children, which is essential when it comes to her petite frame. Now, let’s talk about Tina’s favorite things! She relishes cuddling in chairs, meal times (who doesn't love a good feast?), and snack time treats. She loves to soak up the sun in the yard or chase after birds and squirrels when she's feeling sprightly. She also enjoys invigorating walks around the neighborhood—ideally with her favorite person by her side! 🌞🐦 **And here’s a little bonus:** The current owner is even willing to provide a vial of Novalin N insulin (which is about a three-month supply!), syringes, and a bag of Rachel Ray Nutrish food to make the transition easier! Readiness is the name of the game, and Tina is eager to find that special someone who will love her the way she deserves.
