About Tia

Tia arrived at the shelter with her sister, Tamara, after being in a chaotic environment with multiple dogs. She's still getting used to the world around her and displays some fear of new experiences. Patience is key with Tia; she will need time to adjust to a new home. Once she establishes trust, her loyal nature will shine through. Currently, she’s unfamiliar with a leash, so a fenced yard is necessary for her safety. Tia enjoys playing with toys and is food motivated, making training an enjoyable process. This sweet girl will thrive with someone who understands that building a connection takes time. Come meet Tia and start building a beautiful bond together.
