In the shelter’s words

Say Hello to Tiny! ❤️ Four years. That’s how long this big-hearted boy has been waiting for someone to say, “You’re my dog. Let’s go home.” And honestly? We think it’s about time. First things first — Tiny is not tiny. Not in size, and definitely not in personality! He’s a big boy with an even bigger heart, and when it comes to loving his people, he has absolutely no shortage of enthusiasm. Tiny LOVES people. He loves attention, belly rubs, toys, walks, adventures, and spending time with his humans. He’s also a professional toy-box emptier. During boarding, he became pretty famous for making sure every. single. toy. was removed from the box. Why choose one when you can have them all? He’s a great car rider and is always ready to go somewhere. Pup cup? Absolutely. Nature hike? Let’s go. Random adventure because his human said so? Even better. Tiny is also very treat motivated, which has made working on his training a lot of fun. He knows some basic commands and continues to work on his manners. Like many big, enthusiastic dogs, he can get a little too excited when greeting people and may jump — so his ideal home is one where his humans are comfortable continuing his training and helping him learn that keeping four paws on the floor gets him even more attention. Because Tiny is a big, strong boy, we feel a home with children 8+ would be the best fit. And here's the really important part… Tiny needs to be your one and only pet. ❤️ He cannot live with other dogs or cats, so we are looking for a home where he gets to be the star of the show. And honestly? Tiny is perfectly happy being your one-and-only. He has plenty of love to give his humans, and he would love nothing more than to have a person or family who is all his. After spending four years in boarding (at first) and foster care, Tiny deserves more than another year of waiting. He deserves a family who sees the big, goofy, affectionate, toy-loving, adventure-seeking dog that we see. He deserves a couch with his name on it. He deserves a toy box to empty. He deserves someone who will take him for pup cups and walks and then give him the belly rubs he has been waiting for. Most of all, Tiny deserves to finally be someone's forever dog. If you're looking for a big guy with a HUGE heart, an enthusiasm for life, and enough personality to keep you smiling, Tiny would love to meet you. Four years is long enough. Let's get this boy HOME. ❤️
