About Tabitha

Tabitha is a happy, playful, curious girl eager for a fresh start. After being seized from her previous home due to her owners’ legal issues, she’s ready to embrace her new life. This compact girl has a big personality. Tabitha is intelligent, alert, and always curious about her surroundings. A true cuddle bug at heart, she enjoys being close to her people and will curl up in your lap when playtime is over. Tabitha knows how to sit, takes treats gently, walks well on a leash, and loves a good bone. She gets along well with other dogs and is good with children aged 7 and up. With her playful energy, her ideal home will provide daily exercise and enrichment. Since she thrives on structure and consistency, we are seeking an experienced owner who can continue to guide and teach her. Tabitha's short legs, pointy ears, and speckled markings make her quite the standout, but it's her affectionate personality that truly shines. Could Tabitha be your next adventure buddy? Apply today and come meet her!
