Teja

My story

Age: Approximately 4 years old Weight: 77 pounds Dog friendly: Yes. She loves all dogs. However, she has an exuberant play style, so would do best with dogs who are comfortable with that. Cat friendly: unknown Kid friendly: Yes Potty trained: Yes. She’ll sit by the door when she has to go out. Crate trained: Yes. She runs into her crate happily. She lives to get a treat when she’s inside. Teja (TAY-zha) is a sweet, gorgeous, affectionate pittie mix looking eagerly for her adoring forever family. Teja wants to be your pal, follow you around, and do whatever you do - her happy place is right next to you or in your lap. She’s also comfortable being on her own and snuggling into a pile of blankets for a nap. She loves cuddles, pets, and kindly attention of any kind. She enjoys car rides and is up for whatever adventure you go on. She’s really smart and already knows sit, down, stay, and kennel. You can ask her to sit when you want to put her leash on. She’s very cooperative and eager to please and everything is accompanied by butt wiggles. Teja has medium energy, is playful, and enjoys chewing on antlers and toys - however, she needs to be supervised with toys because she loves to tear them apart. She loves slow, sniffy walks and greeting people who want to stop and say “hi.” Her weight is a bit deceiving - she’s not a big dog, just blocky and dense with short legs. Nicknames include “Baby Hippo,” “Little Potato,” and “Baby Bunny;” her sweet demeanor and personality inspire terms of endearment. In some circumstances, she can be a little anxious but reassurances, gentle pets, and a treat help her understand that all is well. Come and meet this girl and you will fall in love. Adoption Fee: $325
