Tania - The Timid Velcro Pup

Meet Tania — the sweetest little soul who just wants to be loved! <br/><br/>At 4 years old and just 22 pounds, Tania is a petite little lady with a heart of gold! Don’t let her pictures fool you — she looks much bigger than she actually is. She’s a short, Basset-sized girl with the most precious personality.<br/><br/>Tania was rescued from a hoarding house, and while we don’t know everything she’s been through, it’s clear that life hasn’t always shown her the kindness she deserves.<br/><br/>She is INCREDIBLY sweet, gentle, and docile, but also very timid. There’s not an aggressive bone in this little girl’s body. She’s simply learning that people can be kind and that love is something she deserves, too.<br/><br/>And oh, the way she reacts to affection will absolutely melt your heart. When you give her love, she looks up at you with the sweetest expression of genuine surprise, almost as if she’s asking, “Really? You like me?” It’s heartbreaking and beautiful all at once.<br/><br/>But once you earn Tania’s trust, something magical happens. She becomes your sweet, calm little shadow, quietly following you around, soaking up your affection, and just wanting to be near her person.<br/><br/>Tania absolutely LOVES other dogs! They give her confidence and help her feel safe in the world, so we would especially love to see her in a home with another friendly, confident pup who can show her the ropes.<br/><br/>She’s not looking for a loud, chaotic life full of excitement. She’s looking for gentle hands, patient hearts, a cozy place to rest, and someone who will celebrate all the little moments as she continues to blossom.<br/><br/>Tania may take a little time to give you her whole heart, but once she does, you’ll have the most loyal, loving little companion you could ever imagine.<br/><br/>This sweet girl has spent enough of her life wondering if she’s worthy of love. We can’t wait for her to find a family who will spend the rest of her life showing her that she absolutely is. <br/><br/>Tania is still in Puerto Rico and will be flying to her forever home or an adoptive home ASAP - whichever opens first.
