Hi, I’m Tinsel! 🐾
I’m a shy girl with a gentle soul, and I’m still learning how big and wonderful the world can be. When I first came to my foster home, I was really scared—I didn’t even want to walk on a leash. But guess what? I’ve gotten braver, and now I enjoy my daily walks! I go out three times a day for about 20–30 minutes, and afterward, I love finding a comfy spot to rest and relax.
I’m still figuring out toys and treats—they’re kind of confusing to me right now. But my foster family says I’ve made so much progress, and I’m proud of myself for learning to eat well from my bowl.
I’m not a big fan of loud noises or too much commotion, so I think I’d feel safest in a calm home where things are nice and quiet. I might take a little time to warm up to you, but once I do, you’ll see how sweet and loving I can be.
If you have patience, a gentle heart, and a cozy spot on your couch, I think we could be a great match. I’m just looking for someone who will love me as I am and help me keep learning that the world isn’t such a scary place after all.
Are you the kind soul I’ve been waiting for? I can’t wait to meet you. 🐶💕
