Make no mistake- this small girl has BIG feelings and isn't shy about sharing them. She's a bit overwhelmed with all the fuss and noise of the shelter- she keeps trying to regulate all of it. She'd really like it if everyone could hush up a bit, thanks. Tina is also a bit wary of new people. She wants to make friends but isn't super confident. Going slow, allowing her time to adjust and proving that you're not there to trap her was a big key to getting her to feel comfortable enough to sit in my lap. As soon as she felt overly confined she escaped to the corner. Time, patience and consistency will be key to winning her over. Once you do- she will be a loyal friend and protector. She's small enough to be a come everywhere pup, but spicy enough to act as bodyguard. She's estimated to be about 5yrs old, so she's past the puppy phase, but has a lot of spunk in her still. She's really looking for humans that make her feel safe, respect her needs and appreciate her expressive nature. If that might be you- come on in and meet tiny Tina for yourself. Just go slow. And provide bum scratches. She loved those.
