Story
Tabitha is a gentle soul eager for love! Tabitha is a 2-year-old darling girl that is sweet as can be. She is a shy girl, but once she gets comfortable with you, she will greet you with the happiest tail wags and wiggles. She has come so far in the short time she has been with us and has blossomed into a loving, loyal girl! Tabitha is full-grown and weighs about 17lbs. Tabitha came to us from the Yolo County Animal Shelter after she was found dumped in Clarksburg with her four 8-month-old puppies. She wasn't at the shelter long before we swooped in and placed her in a foster home. Tabitha seems to have had limited life experience up until now and is slowly learning how to be a dog. She didn't know how to walk on a leash and was worried about new people and dogs. She has slowly gained more confidence and has learned to trust her foster parents, she especially likes her foster mom. Tabitha's new family will need to be prepared to take things slow with her and help her gain more confidence. Once you earn her trust, she loves to cuddle and get pets. Tabitha is quite the smart cookie and has quickly learned some mischievous habits - including jumping up on the kitchen counter! She would do best with a family that can provide her with lots of mental stimulation to keep her busy mind from getting her into trouble. She would be a great companion for someone who wants a dog to whom they can teach lots of tricks. Tabitha loves other dogs and does best when she has a confident dog buddy to live with. She has become BFFs with the youngest small dog in her foster home and being friends with her has helped her thrive. Tabitha will need to be adopted by a family that has a dog buddy for her, preferably a small playful dog that she can run around with. Tabitha is afraid of cats and needs a kitty-free home. Due to her shy nature, Tabitha would do best in an adult-only home. Tabitha has been doing well with her housetraining and does well sleeping in a crate in the bedroom with her foster parents. She is still adjusting to being home by herself, so needs a family that can slowly acclimate her to being home alone. Tabitha is so deserving of a fresh start with her forever family.

The Yolo County SPCA is a private, not-for-profit, foster home-based animal rescue organization and does not have a shelter. All our animals awaiting adoption are in foster homes. Our adoption fees help us cover the cost of spay/neuter surgery, microchip and registration, and rabies vaccination (if over 4 months of age at intake or spay/neuter) for all animals. Dogs are tested for heartworm and started on preventatives, and given a DAPP vaccination. Adult dogs are up to date on their vaccinations prior to adoption. Puppies will be current on the vaccinations appropriate to his or her age. The adopter is responsible for additional vaccinations as necessary after the adoption.
