Larissa is a truly special girl with a unique brindle coat and markings that earned her the nickname "Tazzi" from her foster family, reminding them of a little Tasmanian tiger! But her striking appearance is only matched by her incredibly sweet and gentle nature. When she's seeking affection, she'll softly nudge your hand with her nose, a quiet request for a little extra love.
Larissa's journey to finding her forever home is a testament to her resilience. She spent almost ten months in a Houston park raising her two puppies, becoming a local legend for her ability to accept food from kind strangers while skillfully evading capture. Now, this cautious survivor has blossomed into a dog who readily learns that new people can become wonderful friends. Once she feels comfortable and secure, her affectionate and easygoing personality truly shines.
Ideal Home
Larissa thrives on a good balance of activity and relaxation. She enjoys daily walks and exploring new places. A canine companion is very important to her, and she absolutely lights up when she has a dog friend to play with. After playtime, she's perfectly content to curl up for hours, often finding comfort and safety in her crate.
