Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Tasha is an adorable female spitz mix, 11-12 weeks old. She will likely be under 40 lbs. when full grown. Her mother appears to be an American Eskimo Dog who weighs about 30 lbs., but we don't know who her father is! She has been in foster care with the rest of her litter and mom while they've been recovering from terrible neglect. She is doing much better now and is ready for her own home and loving people! Tasha is generally confident and curious, but she is not a big fan of riding in the car at this time. That may improve with lots of short trips on an empty stomach for practice. She is not fully housetrained, but she has been using papers in her kennel at night. She has all age-appropriate vaccinations and has been microchipped. For more adoption information, please visit our website.
Please feel free to contact their foster home at blairhsow@gmail.com if you have questions. To apply to meet and adopt, please complete and submit the adoption application: https://www.humanesocietyofwilkes.org/adopt/application
