Tasha was adopted and has been coming out of her shell. Her new family sent us these pics!

Tasha

Morning Coffee

A few days ago we got this new pic of Tasha. She doesn’t look like the nervous dog in her profile pic and looks like she’s having a good time in her foster home. She’s still shy but has been slowly coming around and relaxing.

She is still learning that not everything is scary and will take some time before she’s totally confident. Hopefully she will find a forever home where the people are patient, calm, and can work with Tasha to be the great dog we know she is.

For the last month Tasha’s made some progress but she is still very shy. She tends to hide most of the day but does come out. When she is out with the family she’s extremely lovable and affectionate. Tasha does not seem to have a prey drive nor approach any animal or human aggressively.

She’s getting better with walking on a leash but gets very scared of new situations. It will take some time for her to adjust and gain the confidence she needs to be a happy, well-adjusted dog.

Tasha is doing well in her foster home, Joanne has this to say:

Tasha is doing well with the other pets in my home, and seems to do well when encountering other dogs on walks. She is also friendly with people and children, but is a little shy at first. She gets nervous when she hears strange noises.

Tasha has not shown any aggression toward toys or food. Tasha is not very vocal, only when she wants to let us know she wants to come in.

Tasha is not crate trained, but she behaves nicely in our home, she spends at least 5+ hours alone and it is not a problem. She does not have any accidents, it seems as though she sleeps most of the day.

Tasha doesn’t seem to be too high-energy. A couple of times she was very hyper and jumping on me, but other than that she is overall quiet and nervous.

Tasha is certainly a little gift – born on Christmas Day 2000, Tasha is a sweet petite little girl who is very shy around strangers, but loves being around other dogs and cats. She was brought into foster care after she lost her human mom and her human grandmom was not able to care for her any longer. Tasha grew up with her brother Cosmo the cat and is now in foster care with 2 foster brother dogs (1 Shiba and 1 Australian Cattle dog), a cat and 2 young children.

Tasha is a very shy little girl, and initially spent most of her time hiding under the bed. After a few short weeks, she is integrating herself into the family very nicely. She goes for daily walks with the
children and has lots of play time with the other dogs and cat. Even tough Tasha is a timid girl, she is very affectionate and does seek attention form her humans.

Tahsa does not have an aggressive bone in her body. She is doing wonderfully with the 2 children (ages 2 and 4) then she is living with. Tasha does not really know any commands, but that is being worked on in her foster home.
