Tabouli - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Phoenix, Arizona

Tabouli has never met a stranger. Or if she has, she immediately corrected that mistake by becoming friends with them. This 38-pound mixed breed sweetheart is estimated to be around 2 years old and approaches life with the enthusiasm of someone who believes every person, every dog, and every adventure is potentially the best thing that has ever happened.

If socializing were an Olympic sport, Tabouli would already have several gold medals and a sponsorship deal. Humans? Wonderful. Dogs? Amazing. New friends? Sign her up. She moves through the world with a happy confidence that makes everyone feel welcome, like the host of a very cheerful party that never ends.

Before she arrived in rescue, Tabouli was busy raising a litter of puppies, and by all accounts she did an outstanding job. Her motherhood era was a success. The babies have grown, the diapers are metaphorically packed away, and now Tabouli is ready to focus on something revolutionary: herself.

These days, her interests include playing, making friends, playing with friends, and potentially recruiting additional friends for more playing. She's active, joyful, and fully committed to squeezing every bit of fun out of life. Watching Tabouli enjoy herself feels like a reminder that happiness can be surprisingly simple.

Of course, she still carries all the qualities that made her such a wonderful mama. She's loving, attentive, and eager to connect. She just finally gets to enjoy being the center of attention instead of the one providing it.

Tabouli is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and negative for heartworm and tick disease on her 4DX test. Healthy, happy, and officially retired from parenthood, she is ready for a future filled with toys, adventures, and people who adore her as much as she adores them.

If your life could use a little more joy, a little more laughter, and a whole lot more tail wagging, Tabouli is prepared to parsley her way right into the middle of it.
