Some dogs make an impression the moment you see them, and Larissa is one of them. With her striking brindle coat and unusual markings, she earned the nickname "Tazzi" from her foster family because she looks like a little Tasmanian tiger brought to life. But it's her sweet nature that people remember most. When she wants affection, she'll gently reach out with her nose and nudge your hand, quietly asking for a little extra love. Before coming to Addicus' Legacy Dog Rescue, Larissa spent nearly ten months raising her two puppies in a Houston park. She became something of a local legend, accepting food from kind strangers while skillfully avoiding every attempt to catch her. These days, that cautious survivor has transformed into a dog who quickly learns that new people can become friends. Once she feels comfortable, her affectionate, easygoing personality shines through. You'll love how naturally she balances activity and relaxation. As a Plott Hound for adoption, Larissa enjoys daily walks, exploring new places, and romping with other dogs. Having a canine companion is especially important to her, and she absolutely lights up when she has a dog friend to play with. After the fun is over, she's perfectly content to curl up for hours, often choosing her crate as her cozy retreat and safe place to recharge. Larissa is the kind of rescue dog for adoption who makes life easy.
