Hello, I'm Tina!

Tina is a sweet, gentle, and playful dog around 2 years old and weighing 11 pounds. She is a very shy, unique looking Dachshund, Pug, and Chihuahua mix who is in need of a forever home where she can feel safe and loved once again. Tina has had it rough, as it looks like she has suffered some abuse and was left outside Front Street Shelter parking lot when they were closed. She spent over a month in the shelter before being taken into Little Paws, but because of her experience she has been very wary of people. With patience and kindness however, she has begun to trust again and it has been wonderful to see her grow in confidence. Tina is a loyal and loving dog who just needs someone to give her a chance. She is active and would be a great companion for someone who can give her the attention and care she needs, helping her to trust again and providing her with a safe environment to thrive. She would benefit from a patient owner who can help build up her confidence and she will be the most loving, sweet and loyal dog in return. Despite her shyness, Tina has a wonderful playful side and loves to steal socks and shoes, (though she doesn't eat them)! She also loves toys and she hasn't met a toy she doesn't love! She has the adorable, cute floppy ears, along with the long body and the tail of a dachshund with a curl in it, the head of a Chihuahua and the crunched face and wrinkles of a pug! Tina loves using the doggy door and is great with steps or ramps. She would benefit from dog training and obstacle course training as this would really help to boost her self-esteem. We can see her being great at agility in the future! She is housebroken, pee pad trained, crate trained, microchipped, vaccinated and spayed. She is good with other dogs but we are not sure about cats. Her adoption fee is $700. If you think you could be Tina's special person to give her the home she deserves, or you have any questions, please fill out an adoption questionnaire. Thank you.

Our Adoption Process
  • Fill out an adoption questionaire completely. Tell us as much as possible about yourself, your current pets and your previous pets.
  • Little Paws will contact you by email if your application is accepted.
  • If it seems like it would be a possible match you will receive a phone call.
  • If it still seems like it might be a good match, we schedule a time for you, your current dog, if applicable, the foster dog and the Little Paws foster parent to meet. There may be more than one family meeting the same dog.
  • If Little Paws, the foster dog and the applicant agree that it's a good match, a home check may be performed.
  • Adoption fees will be collected.
  • Then we complete the adoption!
The typical adoption fees range from $400 to $800 depending on the age and health of the dog/pup. We do not ship dogs for any reason.
We are ALL VOLUNTEERS, so not all applications will be answered. You will be contacted if you may be a good match for a particular doggie. Thank you for understanding.
