Notes from Doberman Rescue Minnesota

Meet Tia ❤️

Some dogs make you work to earn their heart. Tia simply hands you hers.

This sweet, affectionate girl is still patiently waiting for the family who will finally see just how wonderful she is. Since coming into foster care, Tia has embraced her new life with an open heart—and she’s proving every day that she is truly as easy as they come.

Tia absolutely loves her foster siblings and does wonderfully with the three resident Dobermans in her foster home. She has discovered that life is pretty wonderful when it includes plenty of toys, playtime, attention, and people who adore you.

And Tia has some serious opinions about toys. Balls are her absolute favorite, but she also has a special collection of “babies” and squeaky toys that she proudly carries around. The best part? She loves her toys without feeling the need to destroy them! She can occasionally be a little selective about sharing her treasures, though, so supervised playtime is recommended.

But what really makes Tia shine is how wonderfully easy she is to care for.

Bath? No problem.

Nail trim? Sure.

Dremel? She’s got this.

Ear cleaning? Fine by her.

Teeth brushing? Go ahead.

You can pretty much do just about anything with Tia, and she takes it all in stride. She is a total love bug who thrives on attention, affection, and simply being near her people.

Tia does have an old injury to one of her hind feet, so she isn't looking for a life filled with long walks, running, or strenuous adventures. And honestly? She's perfectly happy with that arrangement. Give her a yard to enjoy, some toys to carry around, a cozy place to relax, and a human willing to give her plenty of love, and Tia is one happy girl.

She would be an especially wonderful match for a calm, laid-back home where she can settle in, feel safe, and simply be cherished. She has no known experience with cats, so that would need to be taken into consideration by her future family.

Tia has also successfully completed her heartworm treatment and continues to improve every day. She is healthy, happy, and ready for the next chapter of her life.

And that chapter should be about forever.

Tia has already shown us what a loving, loyal, easygoing companion she can be. Now she just needs someone to show her that all this waiting was worth it.

Someone who will let her carry her favorite ball around the house.

Someone who won't mind sharing the couch with a girl who loves attention.

Someone who will appreciate the sweet soul behind those eyes.

Someone who will finally say, “Tia, you're home.”

Could you be the forever family this beautiful girl has been waiting for? ❤️
