Luckily, you won't need a reading to know what's in store with Tarot: lap snuggles, car rides, couch cuddles, and a little shadow who wants to be involved in absolutely everything you do. This adorable 1-2 year old Chiweenie weighs 15 pounds and was rescued from a shelter. While we don't know much about her past, one thing is crystal clear—her future is looking bright. Daily Life with Tarot Tarot starts her day around 7 AM when the family wakes up for school. Breakfast comes first, followed by a day spent doing what she does best: being close to her people. You'll often find her perched on the couch, relaxing in a dining room chair, or supervising household activities from the coziest spot she can find. She enjoys a daily walk around midday and is happy whether the adventure is long or short. In the evening, Tarot settles in with her family and happily heads to bed around 10 PM. Her favorite place to be is wherever her humans are, preferably touching at least one of them. Professional Lap Occupier When Tarot first arrived from the shelter, she was understandably a little timid. It didn't take long, however, for her true personality to emerge. Now she's a loving little Velcro dog who follows her people from room to room, always wanting to know what they're doing and whether she can help. (Her version of helping usually involves sitting in your lap.) The moment someone sits down, Tarot sees it as an open invitation. She'll happily hop right into your lap, curl up beside you on the couch, or snuggle close at bedtime. If you're looking for a dog who believes personal space is optional, Tarot may be your soulmate. Equal Parts Adventure Buddy and Couch Companion Tarot has mastered the art of balance. Want to go for a walk? She's ready. Planning a hike or a day trip? Count her in. Need someone to spend the entire afternoon snuggled under a blanket? That's actually one of her specialties. She may be small, but she's surprisingly athletic and enjoys getting out and exploring. At the same time, she's perfectly content spending the day curled up in a warm lap, soaking up affection. Her motto seems to be: 'I don't really care what we're doing, as long as we're doing it together.' Friends, Family, and Four-Legged Companions Tarot currently lives with a Golden Retriever and enjoys playing with her canine friend. She has shown that she'd do well in a home with another playful dog, though she'd also be happy soaking up attention as an only dog. While she may occasionally bark when she sees other dogs during walks, it's more of a social commentary than anything aggressive. She walks nicely on leash and enjoys meeting the world one sniff at a time. She also loves spending time with her family and thrives on human companionship. House Manners Tarot is wonderfully house-trained and has not had any accidents in her foster home. She's not destructive, doesn't chew things she shouldn't, and is only just beginning to discover the joys of toys. When someone comes to the door, she may offer a few barks to announce their arrival, and she sometimes protests briefly when her favorite person leaves the house. Fortunately, she's easy to redirect and settles down quickly. A peanut butter-covered lick mat is one of her favorite ways to pass the time while waiting for her people to return. Why Everyone Loves Tarot Tarot has a way of making herself part of the family almost immediately. She adores car rides and gets so excited when she hears the garage door open that she runs straight to the car, hoping an adventure is about to begin. She's affectionate without being demanding, playful without being hyper, and adaptable enough to fit into many different types of homes. Whether you're an active family looking for a sidekick or someone searching for the perfect couch companion, Tarot is happy to fill the role. One Last Thing... Every family has that one member who keeps an eye on household pests. For Tarot, that job description apparently includes catching flies directly out of the air. That's right. In a moment that left her foster family both impressed and slightly stunned, Tarot successfully snagged a fly mid-flight. Equal parts athlete, comedian, and pest-control specialist, she takes all her responsibilities seriously. The Perfect Home Tarot's dream home is simple: lots of love, plenty of human interaction, and people who want a dog to truly be part of the family. She'll happily join you on walks, road trips, errands, movie nights, and lazy Sunday mornings. Whatever your day holds, Tarot wants a front-row seat. After everything she's been through, this sweet little shelter survivor is more than ready to live her best life. All she needs now is a family to share it with. And if the cards are right, that family might just be yours.
