Tasha

Description

Animal Information:  Tasha is a 3-year-old, 5-pound Chihuahua who came to the Stanislaus shelter as part of an animal welfare case, where she and 18 other dogs were lovingly cared for by shelter staff while the District Attorney's office worked through the legal process. Once the dogs were finally released and available for rescue, we knew we had to help. Tasha, along with Freckles, Littles, and Cooper, all came from the same home. Although she's a little shy at first, Tasha has been incredibly sweet with the shelter staff and just needs a little time to feel safe and let her personality shine. We can't wait to welcome Tasha to the Pacific Northwest and show her what the good life is all about Foster Profile: Coming in at just shy of 5 lbs, meet Tasha. She’s been with us a little over a week now and every day her confidence builds. She is very wary of strangers, but has certainly attached herself to her foster mom and the resident dog. She’s still fearful of men, but building confidence every day. The world is still pretty scary for her, she hasn’t ventured out on a leash walk yet. She is enjoying spending her time in the yard, however. One of her favorite past times is chasing butterflies! She does well in her crate after a few initial grumblings. She is about 90% potty trained and would do best in a home with another dog and maybe one without children. She has a tendency to jump up on you when excited and is easily spooked by the littlest of noises. During the day she likes to play with toys and occasionally gets the zoomies, which is pretty cute. After she tires herself out, she settles nicely in at a dog bed by my desk. At night, she settles down and enjoys watching TV in my lap with Hazel.   Tasha is just going to need a patient family who will allow her to continue to grow her confidence.  Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, any indicated preventative care, heartworm test, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian.
