About Tanya

Meet Tanya, the little leader with a big personality! This pint-sized cutie has the vibrant spirit of a large dog, showing that great things truly come in small packages. At just 5 weeks old, Tanya weighs in at a mere 2 pounds, making her one of the tiniest puppies around. She won’t be ready for her forever home for another three weeks, but if this little nugget has captured your heart, you may want to get your application in early. Tanya is mostly Pug with a splash of Chihuahua and Poodle, blending charm and sass beautifully. She’s curious and playful, and she loves to explore her surroundings. Being the most vocal of her siblings, she enjoys sharing her opinions and often engages in wrestling matches with her seven brothers and sisters, keeping things lively. A few things to consider: puppies need lots of time, patience, and love to help them grow into wonderful family members. Since they are not vaccinated yet, we don’t adopt out puppies to apartments or condos due to parvo risk. It's also important to note that Tanya is tiny, so she will do best in a home without small children who might not understand her fragility. If you’re ready to offer Tanya the loving home she deserves, we’d love for you to submit an application to meet her and her adorable siblings. Click apply to start the adoption process.
