Hi. I'm Tina.
I'm about 7 months old and 30 lbs. They don't think I'll get much bigger.
Some people say my eyes are my best feature.
Others say it's my ears.
Maybe it's my fashion sense.
What do you think?
Mmmmm. Tasty pink bunnies.
Actually, my foster mom says my personality is my best feature.
I'm a black dog as you can see. I've heard that people don't like black dogs as much as dogs of other colors. But my foster mom says it fits me perfectly because I'm like a shadow dog. I like to follow her everywhere. When she works on the computer, I go inside the crate next to her desk and lay down. Then when she gets up, I immediately get up too. That's because I want to make sure she stays out of trouble.
I'm crate trained and housetrained. I'm also very used to riding in the car. That's because my other foster mom used to take me to work with her at Google every day. Everyone says I'm very smart and learn quickly. I know "sit", "down," and "high five."
I'm a quiet dog, laid-back, and very well-behaved. I used to live with 2 cats. I hardly ever get into trouble and I listen well. I'm very gentle too. I like to play with other dogs. Sometimes I'm a little nervous around new dogs, but after a few minutes, I'm ok.
Charge!
I'm very submissive and good-natured.
I love to play with my balls too. The guy who invented those was a genius!
I've been meeting a lot of new people so I don't get as nervous as I used to. But it would be nice if my new family can continue to socialize me.
I'm spayed, current on shots and flea preventative, and microchipped. If you would like to meet me, please email your completed Adoption Application. I would love to meet you. My adoption fee is a $250 tax-deductible donation to Walkin' the Bark Rescue, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. That helps to cover a small portion of all the medical expenses they spend on dogs that otherwise wouldn't have a chance. For another $50 donation, I'll also come with a doggie bed, 2 ceramic dog bowls, a bag of dog food, leash, collar, toothbrush, toothpaste, kong, hypoallergenic shampoo, rope toy, stuffed animal, and bully stick treats--almost everything I'll need to get me started with my new family.
I used to live on the streets and there weren't many people that were kind to me until recently. I was scared and hungry for a long time but that didn't break my spirit. I know I will make my new family very happy. And as long as they love me, I'll be happy too. I know there's the perfect family for me out there somewhere. Me and my friend, Phoebe, keep an eye out for you every single day.
I hope you find me soon.
