Tina

My story

Meet Tina!Looking for a petite pup with a huge personality? Say hello to Tina, an 11 lb., 4-year-old fully grown pup who proves that the best things really do come in small packages!After being found as a stray, Tina has settled into her local foster home and is working hard on all her essentials: house-training, crate time, and leash walking. She’s a quick learner and puts her whole heart into everything she does, especially when it comes to eating treats and playing with toys!She can be a bit nervous in new situations and needs a day or two to warm up, but once she trusts you, she’s loyal, loving, and full of spunky charm. She tends to prefer women and would do best in a quieter home without a lot of visitors. While she could live with respectful kids and possibly other small dogs, experience with resource guarding is preferred as she can be protective of her favorite things.Tina hasn’t met any cats yet. She’s open to new adventures with the right family who will give her time, patience, and the space to feel safe and secure.Her foster says, `There is nothing tiny about Tina but her size! She plays with my 4 big dogs and gets right in the middle of the group. She eats well. Loves to snuggle while watching tv and wants to sleep with you but under the covers. She has enough energy to play with other dogs and you but also loves to be a couch potato. If she has a treat, she lets the other dogs know it is her private property. It’s actually kind of funny because she weighs around 10 pounds while the other dogs weigh from 40 to 60 pounds. Tina will stay in a crate when needed but has been left to roam the house with no problems. Tina has been gentle with my 85 year old mom and has not tried to get under her feet. I hate to see Tina leave, actually. She would be a great addition to any family.`She is available for adoption in Hopkinton or Jamaica Plain, MA by appointment.
