Larissa is a truly special girl with a striking brindle coat and unique markings that have earned her the nickname "Tazzi" from her foster family, reminding them of a little Tasmanian tiger! Beyond her looks, it's her incredibly sweet and gentle nature that will capture your heart. When she's seeking affection, she'll tenderly 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 nearly ten months in a Houston park, raising her two puppies and skillfully evading capture while accepting food from kind strangers. This cautious survivor has blossomed into a dog who quickly learns to trust new people and sees them as potential friends. Once she feels secure, her affectionate and easygoing personality truly shines!
