About Tabitha

Meet Tabitha, one of Tonya's lovely puppies! Tonya was discovered outside an abandoned home, taking care of her newborns, and we jumped at the chance to help. Initially, we thought there were five puppies, but our little rescue mission revealed a delightful surprise—ten healthy and beautiful puppies, a mix of Border Collie and Australian Cattle Dog. At just 7 weeks old, Tabitha and her siblings are outgoing and curious, embodying all the playful energy of typical puppies. They all share their mother’s expected adult size of around 38 lbs. While they are not old enough to be spayed or neutered yet, they are currently in a foster-to-adopt situation. This means that once their surgeries are completed, ownership will fully transfer to the new family using a $50 voucher we provide. To ensure compliance with Montana state law, a $150 deposit will be collected to guarantee the surgeries happen. Tabitha gets along well with dogs, cats, and children, making her a wonderful addition to any family. If you're ready to welcome this fun-loving pup into your life, please apply today!
