About Tabsey

Tabsey is a sweet Chihuahua who found herself in a tough situation as part of a 43-dog surrender. She's gentle but a bit shy due to a lack of prior human interaction. At approximately 2-3 years old, she will need time to warm up to new people, so multiple meet and greets are important to help build trust. She’s fully up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and is scheduled for her spay surgery on October 9. Tabsey thrives on companionship, so having another dog in the home would be ideal to assist her adjustment. She needs an experienced and patient adopter, ideally in an adult-only environment, or with older children who can respect her need for space. A fenced yard is also essential for her comfort. If you think you can provide Tabsey with the loving home she deserves, consider applying to adopt her!
