About Tia

Meet Tia, an energetic and resilient black Labrador Retriever mix who has been eagerly awaiting her forever home for over a year. Despite her charm and playful spirit, she faces challenges with adoption, which can often happen for black dogs. Tia is not just a pretty face; she loves to fetch and is always ready to engage with her people. Her quick learning ability and enthusiasm for training make her a delight, especially with treats as motivation. While Tia is affectionate and thriving with human companionship, she shows some food guarding behaviors with other dogs. To ensure she gets the attention she craves, we believe she'd be happiest in a home as the only pet. Tia would flourish with an experienced owner who can provide the engagement and training she enjoys. At 2.5 years old, she is spayed, fully vaccinated, and ready for a family to call her own. If you're looking for a loyal companion and you think you could be the one to show Tia how wonderful it is to be loved, please consider making her your new best friend. This is an out-of-town listing, and we can transport Tia to your city upon adoption. Let's finally bring this sweet girl home!
