In the shelter’s words

*PHOENIX METRO AREA ONLY* Tia is a 1.5-year-old, 50 pound “scruffy” Lab mix with a fun-loving spirit and a heart full of potential. She came to rescue when her owners could not be located, and now she’s ready for a fresh start with a family who will help her shine. Tia can be a little cautious when first meeting new people or in new situations, but she warms up with patience and reassurance. Once she feels comfortable and trusts her person, she settles in nicely and does very well. Tia’s playful, youthful energy is matched by her eagerness to please. She loves games like fetch, tug, and chase, and she’s highly treat-motivated—making her a wonderful candidate for continued training. Tia would truly thrive with an adopter who is excited to build a strong bond through positive, force-free obedience training. With her trusting personality and willingness to learn, she has all the makings of a fantastic companion. Like many young dogs, Tia is still learning the ropes and will benefit from continued training and socialization to help her become her very best self. She’s not a “turn-key” dog, but for someone willing to invest a little time and guidance, the payoff will be an incredibly loyal and well-rounded companion. While Tia has not been tested with cats, we recommend a home without them. She would do best with dogs her size or with confident dogs who can match her play style. Due to her large size (50 pounds), any children in the home should be at least 12 years old As a young Lab mix, Tia will need regular exercise to stay happy and balanced. She’ll enjoy daily walks, runs, and adventures beyond the backyard—and she would make an excellent hiking buddy! She is up to date on vaccinations, spayed, and microchipped. If you’re ready to invest a little time in training and a lot of love, Tia will reward you with endless fun, loyalty, and companionship.
