Cuddly Tia has a simple philosophy: if there's a lap nearby, she'd like to be in it
Meet Tia! This 5-year-old chocolate-colored French Bulldog mix is convinced that everyone she meets is her new best friend. Her foster describes her as incredibly sweet and loving, which is no surprise. Tia has a simple philosophy: if there’s a lap nearby, she’d like to be in it. She’ll rest her head on your leg for pets and belly rubs, then happily settle in for a good office nap when it’s time to wind down. And don’t let her sturdy little build fool you — Tia has plenty of pep and enjoys hanging out with other dogs, too. She’s the kind of gal who can make herself comfortable just about anywhere, as long as her people are nearby.
With her sweet personality and serious cuddling skills, Tia is ready to be your best friend, too! Adopt Tia today at Pasadena Humane.
The adoption fee for dogs is $150. All dog adoptions include spay or neuter, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccines.
Walk-in adoptions are available every day from 9:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. View photos of adoptable pets at pasadenahumane.org.
New adopters will receive a complimentary health-and-wellness exam from VCA Animal Hospitals, as well as a goody bag filled with information about how to care for your pet.
Pets may not be available for adoption and cannot be held for potential adopters by phone calls or email.
