About Tabi

Tabi is currently at the rescue in Georgia and is available for adoption in New Jersey and nearby regions as well. She showed up as a stray at a local couple's home and, although hesitant with people, quickly got along with their dogs. Over time, she started to accept the couple but still kept her distance. After a short disappearance, she returned from the woods with a litter of puppies. The couple took in her mom, and Tabi—one of the pups—came to the rescue. She arrived timid and unsure, which made sense after her recent upheaval. However, she's starting to come out of her shell, showing more playfulness and comfort with people each day. Tabi is best suited to a quieter home without a lot of noise or commotion, so families with small children might not be the best fit. She's up to date on her vaccines, heartworm preventatives, and has received her Bordetella vaccination. Tabi will arrive microchipped and will need all her basic training. What are you waiting for?
