Tika

My story

Meet Tika - Your Loyal Cuddle Companion2.5-Year-Old Female Dog | Adoption Counselling RequiredTika is a bright, affectionate young dog who is looking for a very special, experienced forever home. At 1.5 years old, she's full of potential and love-but needs a calm, adult-only environment with no other pets to truly thrive.Tika bonds quickly with her people and becomes deeply loyal-she'll happily soak up all the belly rubs and cuddles you have to offer! However, it's important that all members of the household build a relationship with her, as she has a protective nature toward her chosen people.She's crate trained and even finds comfort in her crate. While she can be fearful in new situations or when meeting unfamiliar people, her behavior is very manageable with patient, positive reinforcement training. A secure, fenced yard is essential, and her ideal home is quiet and predictable.Tika walks well on leash in low-distraction areas but may react to birds, squirrels, or cars. She is incredibly intelligent and benefits from both physical activity and mental stimulation. While she has lived with another dog in the past, she'll need slow, proper introductions to any new canine friends, as she may react out of fear.Key Requirements for Tika's Future Home:Adult-only householdNo other petsSecure, fenced yardCalm, low-traffic environmentExperienced dog guardian(s)Commitment to continued training and socializationWillingness to attend an adoption counselling sessionIf you're ready to open your heart and home to a loyal, loving, and incredibly smart companion, Tika may be the perfect match for you.1.
