About Tadpole

Meet Tadpole! This tiny chihuahua mix is about 3 years old and recently arrived from a rural shelter, where she was in rough shape with skin infections and missing most of her fur. Tadpole is still shy and cautious, but bit by bit she’s warming up and showing curiosity. She does well with other dogs and, despite her wariness, seems eager for affection—she’s just figuring out how to receive it. Regular baths, medicine, and good food have already started her transformation. Tadpole would thrive with an adopter who is patient and gentle, willing to give her plenty of time and encouragement as she gains confidence. She’ll reward the right person with her quiet loyalty as she settles in. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
