Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Tiny, our resilient pup who's been on an incredible journey.
This one-year-and-five-month-old mixed breed-possibly part Pit Bull and German Shepherd-has spent most of his life within shelter walls. Tiny was taken from his home with his siblings when his owners faced challenges caring for them.
Despite a rough start with limited socialization, Tiny's spirit shines through. He's a cuddly, playful, and incredibly smart companion. But the shelter life has taken its toll on him. Spending so much time here has affected his mental well-being, leading to a fear of strangers and barrier reactivity. It takes time for Tiny to build trust and feel comfortable around new faces.
Our dedicated team has been working tirelessly for Tiny's happiness. We've consulted trainers, provided anxiety medication, and incorporated daily enrichment activities to keep his mind engaged and joyful. Tiny's been in two foster homes, but finding a permanent place has been challenging due to his reactivity in the kennel and fearfulness around strangers.
We're reaching out to our incredible community for help in finding Tiny the perfect forever home. He'd thrive as the only pet in a household with experienced adults who can continue the work we've started. To assist in his transition, our trainer has generously offered four training sessions free of charge to help Tiny adjust and settle into his new life.
Tiny's journey hasn't been easy, but with your support, we can make a life-changing difference for him.
