About Tide

Tide bounced back from a rough start—he and his littermates were found abandoned in a laundry basket on the roadside. Despite it all, he’s an easygoing, social hound mix who readily warms up to every person he meets. Tide is cat friendly and does well with children, but he can be selective with other dogs, so a meet-and-greet would be wise if you have pups at home. He’s looking for a home where he’ll get plenty of attention and kindness to make up for lost time. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
