My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi everyone,
I would like to introduce you to Argentina we call (Tina) a two year old pup, my husband and I have fostered for the past 12 weeks. She is a loving companion who brings daily joy to our home. She is potty, trained, crate trained, treat motivated, and loves to play in the yard with our four-year-old dog. She is a smart, eager student, who has learned to sit, come, lay down, and touch. She is a delightful sidekick who wants to cuddle and give lots ofkisses. She has come so far with us after enduring a difficult history.
Most of her past is unknown. She has been through abuse, trauma, as well as under nourished. She still walks with a slight limp due to a bullet grazing to her left shoulder. She could only put a little pressure on her left leg when we brought her home, but now is weight-bearing and enjoys short walks. She does have fear with people she doesn't know. We found with lots of treats and gentle words she as well as allowing her to decompress she becomes accepting to others in the home.
The reason we are looking for a new family or individual to foster or adopt Argentina is because we have two dogs, and our own 14 month old puppy is too energetic and rough for Tina. She will continue to grow with warm-hearted care and a comforting environment. She is such a good - natured dog that deserves a supportive welcoming home. Please help us find a place devoted to this beautiful girl so she can continue to grow and thrive and give all her love to you
