Talia is a 7-year-old Shih Tzu/Poodle mix who has a gentle, sensitive nature and tends to hang back from attention. She's shy and prefers space over physical affection for now, so don't expect snuggles on day one—she's not interested in being petted until she feels absolutely safe. Talia does best in quiet environments with steady routines, where her boundaries are respected and she can take as much time as she needs to come out of her shell. She shines with adopters who have prior experience with shy or undersocialized dogs and are comfortable celebrating small steps. She's fully vaccinated, spayed, and already shows good grooming manners. Talia is making steady progress with housebreaking and only has an occasional accident while she adjusts to a new space. She gets along with other dogs, but needs a calm, low-traffic home—chaos isn't her thing, and neither are households with young children. Talia is a Taurus, which might explain her appreciation for consistency and her slow, steady approach to life. She just needs someone patient to help her settle in and finally feel at home.
