Poodle and Dachshund Dogs Available for Adoption in Bowmanville, Ontario

Tina Turner is a one-of-a-kind poodle x dachshund mix looking for a home that truly gets her. This sweet girl was recently returned to the shelter when her previous home wasn't the right fit. Tina's boundaries weren't being respected, and she is hoping her next family will understand just how important those are to her happiness.

Tina thrives in a quiet, low-traffic household with a small circle of people she can trust. She is not the type to love everyone she meets. Tina carefully chooses her people, forming strong bonds with a select few while politely (and sometimes a little sassily) tolerating the rest. Tina is also looking for a home without children, as she has found that kids are a bit too overstimulating for her.

What makes Tina special is her clear communication style. When she wants attention, you will know it! She absolutely enjoys affection (on her terms). With the right person, she loves being pet, picked up, cuddled, and spending time playing. Her favorite game? Fetch! Tina is quite the athlete, she will even catch the ball mid-air and happily bring it back for another round.

Just as clearly as she asks for affection, Tina will let you know when she has had enough. She may walk away or give a little grumble. Tina is looking for a home that will respect those signals and give her the space she is asking for.

Tina will do best with an experienced, patient adopter who values consent-based interactions and understands that love doesn't always look the same for every dog.

Tina Turner is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and ready to find her perfect match.
