A little about them

Meet Taja, a tender-hearted gray mixed-breed girl who is looking for a patient person and a fresh start. Shelter life has been overwhelming, but with quiet time, tasty treats, and gentle encouragement, Taja begins to relax and enjoy leisurely sniffari walks. She has a sweet personality waiting to shine in a calm, supportive home.

Ideal Home

Taja would thrive in a calm, low-traffic, adult-only home with a predictable routine. Her adopter should be patient, respect her boundaries, allow her to set the pace, and introduce new experiences slowly. Her history with other animals is unknown; she has met dogs at the shelter and may become overwhelmed by overly enthusiastic interactions, so thoughtful introductions are important.

Ongoing Health

  • Taja weighs 57.2 pounds.
  • She is spayed and vaccinated.

Training & Support

Taja is treat-motivated and benefits from positive reinforcement. She may initially be fearful and hesitant outdoors, but with coaxing and treats she can settle in and enjoy exploring.

Application Details

  • Taja is available to a Level 4 adopter.
  • An adult-only home is recommended.
  • Applications start by contacting the provider through Wags.
  • Her adoption fee is waived through the shelter's pop-up crate adoption promotion.
  • Her adopter will receive a $50 Chewy gift card.
