My story

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

Hello, peasants. Just kidding. Hi, I’m Tiara.

Yes, my name is Tiara. No, I did not choose it. Yes, I will absolutely live up to it.

I came in as a stray, which basically means I have an air of mystery. Where did I come from? What have I seen? Why do I look slightly concerned about everything for the first five minutes? We may never know.

I’ll be honest — I can be a little shy at first. I like to take a moment to assess the vibes. Is this safe? Are you nice? Do you have snacks? But once I determine that you are, in fact, a kind human with treat potential, I warm up surprisingly fast. And then? Oh. You are mine. I love attention. I love pets. I love treats. If affection were a sport, I’d at least medal.

Other dogs? I prefer the polite, “good evening, ma’am” type. If I’m going to have a canine roommate, they should be calm and respectful enough to give me space to warm up. No cannonball entrances into my personal bubble, please. I’m a princess, not a mosh pit enthusiast.

Cats and kids are currently a mystery on my résumé. I’d likely do just fine with dog-savvy children who understand that I’m not a wind-up toy and might need a minute to feel comfy. Basically: be cool, and we’re cool.

Leash walking? Let’s call it a work in progress. I haven’t perfected my royal strut just yet. Sometimes it’s more of a “wait, what’s that?!” shuffle. But I am very food motivated and eager to learn, so with some patience (and, again, snacks), I’ll be trotting like the dignified lady I am.

What I’m really looking for is someone who appreciates a high energy, shy girl with a goofy side, someone who will let me come out of my shell and then enjoy the absolute sweetheart hiding inside.

Adopt me, and together we shall rule the couch
