Ruff Ruff! My name is Tiffah

All of our adoptable pets are housed with foster families. When age appropriate, they have been spay/neutered, crate, leash and house trained. They have all been living in a family environment so have been evaluated for temperament and personality. We believe that we should know each pet well enough to make sure that when adopted, everyone lives happily ever after.

Tiffah is a sweet, shy girl. She was treated a little roughly when she was a baby and you have to prove to her that you won't hurt her. When she finally trusts you, she playfully turns into a wiggling mass of love. She has good house manners, loves her crate and walks well on a leash. Tiffah will need to have a while to get used to everything new when she gets to her new home. With patience and no harsh words, she will blossom into a great family dog. But, she would do better in a quiet family with older children. Tiffah is very submissive to all dogs and gets along well with kitties.

Tiffah's good with most dogs & people although I think young children might make her nervous. I've had her since she was a puppy & she has slowly improved from being totally paralyzed with fear to just being slow to warm to new people. She will growl & bark when approached until she melts and is silly. She needs socialization and would not be a quick adoption. She was hw negative last yr. She will be retested prior to transport. She will be a great dog with some one on one. She is a 'kennel climber'

The DHS organized in November 2008 to care for the unwanted and neglected animals of Northeastern Louisiana. We are funded only by donations. We ARE making a difference but we still have a  LOT to do....
