About Tia

Tia is enjoying her time in a foster home and is eagerly waiting for her forever family. At about 3 years old and weighing in at 9 pounds, she still needs to gain a little weight to reach her ideal size. This little cutie is a bundle of joy with a friendly disposition, always ready for cuddles and a lap to sit on. When Tia arrived at K9 Stray, she was in poor condition, but with care and proper feeding, she transformed into a happy, lively girl. While she's learning her manners, she would thrive best in a home with children over 13. She adores other dogs and gains confidence from having canine companions around, making a fellow dog in the home an essential requirement. Tia is currently getting the hang of potty training and crate training. At the end of an exciting day, she loves to snuggle up with her loved ones. Prospective adopters should be home often to keep her company. If you think you could be the family she's been waiting for, Tia can't wait to meet you! Click apply to start the adoption process.
