My story

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

Meet Tara, the tiny girl with the biggest heart once she lets you in. This 3-year-old, 14-lb Chihuahua mix was found as a stray, and while life has made her cautious at first, patience is all it takes for her true personality to shine. Tara is very shy with new people, but give her a little time (and maybe a comfy bed), and she blossoms into the sweetest little shadow you could ever hope for.

Once she trusts you, Tara becomes an A+ cuddlebug: snuggly, gentle, and happiest when she’s curled up in your lap. She’ll follow her favorite humans from room to room, all soft eyes and wiggly tail, just wanting to be near you.

Tara also has a surprisingly playful side! She enjoys toys, loves cozy napping spots, and has a hilarious secret: she’s a MUSIC FANATIC. Put on Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Kesha—really any good bop—and Tara gets the zoomies like she’s at her own tiny concert.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who only needs a little patience to show you her whole adorable self, Tara might just be your perfect match.
