Story
**If you are interested in adopting Tavin, please contact Chris at 2cadamski@gmail.com.**
After my mother passed away in November 2025, I made a promise—one I’ve held onto every day since—to keep her two beloved dogs safe, loved, and together. Isabelle and Tavin aren’t just pets… they are a living piece of her, her love, and the life she built.
Isabelle, 3½ years old, is a Staffordshire Terrier mix with a heart as big as her loyalty. She is incredibly smart, deeply affectionate, and was lovingly trained by my mother as both an emotional support animal (ESA) and a psychiatric service dog (PSD). She has a calm strength about her—the kind of dog who just knows when you need her.
Tavin, her 2½-year-old son, has grown up right by her side. He shares her loving nature and brings his own gentle, playful spirit into the world. Their bond is beautiful—they find comfort in each other, and it would mean everything to keep them together.
This is the hardest decision I’ve had to make. As much as I love them, I’ve come to realize that I’m not home enough, and I don’t have the financial stability right now to give them the full, consistent life they truly deserve. And they deserve so much.
They would thrive in a home with a large, fenced-in yard where they can run, play, and just be dogs. They are not good with cats, but they have so much love to give to the right person or family.
I am not giving them up—I am trying to give them a better life. One filled with time, space, stability, and unconditional love.
If you can offer either a safe place to land, you won’t just be adopting a dog—you’ll be continuing a story that means more than words can express.
