My story

Everything Nice!MEET SPICE!   Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice is the perfect description of this little lady. Initially found wandering alone in a cemetery in WV, Spice was brought to the local shelter. Another rescue saw her plight and pulled her where she was put into a foster home and got the love and care that she deserves. Unfortunately, that rescue has since closed and Spice became a Tara’s House dog.     Spice is approximately eighteen months young and is a healthy mixed breed girl. We see possible signs of German Shepherd and/or Rottweiler, although she is smaller than those breeds typically are. She weighs ~40 lbs and thinks she is convinced she is a lap dog! Spice is very intelligent, and has learned several commands like “Sit, Down, Off and Leave It”. Spice is crate trained and potty trained. When it's time for bed she'll take three treats, please! One for each paw shake and the last in her room to keep under her pillow. She is eager to learn and will respond well to positive reinforcement. She is enthusiastic and loves to please her humans.   Her other favorite pastimes include playing with toys and kids while running around in the yard. When she comes back inside all she wants to do is snuggle and give kisses. She wants to be in whatever room her humans are occupying, even in bed if that’s ok by you. Spice will adapt to whatever schedules you have whether it's week day or weekend.    Spice is a great balance of joy and affection and would make a wonderful addition to any family, especially those with children and other dogs. She has a wonderful playful side and loves to stay active. So if you're looking for a baby Spice, a sporty Spice or a posh Spice look no further. Your Spice girl is here waiting to love you.   Spice’s adoption donation fee is $450, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip. You can apply for Spice by filling out our online application, which is found on our website www.tarashouse.org.  Please email us at info@tarashouse.net with any questions.August 18, 2025, 12:45 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Spice, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
