My story

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

EXTENDED
CENSUS DEADLINE

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION OR FOSTER

Name: Tia
Animal ID: A866369
Age: 2 years
Weight: 35 lbs.
Web Link: 24petconnect.com/PimaAdoptablePets/Details/PIMA/A866369
About: Tia is a sweet little peanut with the cutest underbite and the wiggliest dance moves in the shelter! She’s small but mighty- an energetic, playful, and VERY affectionate young pup who adores her human friends. Here’s what one staff member said:
“Tia was wiggly and excited when I approached her kennel and was easy to leash. On our walk, she mostly wanted snuggles from me and was very easy to handle.”
Tia loves snuggles and pets in all forms but is particularly fond of belly rubs. She’d like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to ensure a good fit. Ask to meet Tia today!!


Available for foster care (2+ weeks) or adoption through PACC.
Interested parties:
Must visit PACC before the 3:00PM Sunday June 15, 2025 deadline to meet with a counselor who will review notes and introduce you to the dog to ensure that it’s a good fit. Some dogs may also require an introduction to any dogs they may potentially live with.

Home Management Plan
1) Bite History
• minor bite when seperating a dog altercation
2) Dog Introduction Required
• behavior seen in shelter; started altercation, latched on and was uninterruptable
3) Dog Selective
• Tia must meet all dogs in the home prior to adoption.
• Your new dog likes some dogs but may not like all dogs.
• Muzzle training can be a useful tool for initial introductions to any new dogs.
• They can not go to dog parks.
4) Needs Training
• leash training; extremely reactive to other dogs
• Work on positive reinforcement with your new pup.
• Reach out to TOP Dogs (topdogshelp@gmail.com) or an outside professional trainer for assistance.
