About Tia

Meet Tia, a beautiful American Staffordshire Terrier with a striking silver and white coat and a distinctive blue eye that makes her stand out. She's just a year old and has a friendly spirit, brought to the shelter after being found with her siblings. While the owner reclaimed one dog, Tia and her twin brother Essay are here and ready for a new home. Tia is currently 48 pounds of playful energy, eager to learn new commands—she's still mastering "sit." She's known for her chatty nature, always ready to let you know she's around and wants to play. Tia walks well on a leash and has shown she gets along well with other dogs. She's also shown curiosity towards cats, so a little more testing can be arranged if you have feline friends at home. Tia is not altered and isn't currently in a kennel with Essay, but they can see each other for comfort. If you're ready to welcome a playful and affectionate companion, Tia is here waiting for you. Adoption fee is $150. Start the adoption process and give Tia the forever home she deserves!
