Diondia / Mama Tina

Description

General Notes | Found pregnant and abandoned in a hoarder house with 41 other dogs outside of Houston, Texas, Tina really has seen it all in her first few years of life. This sweet mama dog deserves a softer forever landing pad than that!  This sweet girl has spent her life being the ultimate mom, devoting all her energy to raising her puppies and making sure they were safe, happy, and loved. Now that her babies are grown and off finding their own forever homes, it is finally Tina’s turn to be spoiled! She has a heart of gold and a soul that just wants to please. She’s officially hanging up her motherhood duties and stepping into her retirement ere, which, if she has any say in it, will involve endless belly rubs, cozy nap spots, fun backyard romps, and all the treats she can handle. Want to adopt this dog? Please do not email us. Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP, and an Adoption Coordinator will be in touch within a few days. Our standard application processing timeline is 12 - 14 days. Personality | Shy at first but sweet as pie! Story | Found in Houston in an abandoned hoarding house with 41 other dogs.

To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process. We will not respond to emails about animal availability or allow meet and greets without an approved adoption application on file. Please Note | Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption. We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved.  Your application is good for one year from the date of applying for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle. We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page!
