Tara - Shih Tzu Dog for Adoption in Bowdoin, Maine

Meet 7 year old, 13 lb, adorably sassy AF fluffy Shih Tzu mix, Tara!
This gal has high expectations for what she wants the rest of her life to be and fyi its being pampered and loved every day! This small girl lovessss being cradled like a baby, and cooed over as well(lets not forget the cooing). She does well with other animals, though shes learning to not chase her cat friendsits not out of prey drive or aggression, its OH you look like fun, wanna play? But mostly she is people oriented and would also be very happy being an only child, and the center of someones world
Tara does have some resource guarding when it comes to food, so she needs to eat in a crate, with her own space, and we do not recommend young children with her as they might not understand that she needs her space.
Despite the resource guarding(which is easily remedied) this silly lady is going to thrive being in a forever home, where shell happily talk to you about her day, scold you for taking too long with her food, and snuggle away any bad day that youve had. Shes ready to give her all, so if you would like to meet our girl, please apply!
