Teak is a beautiful little girl who is learning that being petted by humans and even getting belly rubs from them is actually quite enjoyable. She's also finding out that lots of other things are safe and fun to do!

Teak and her sister came to a shelter after being rescued from a hoarder group of dogs, and she was fearful. Now in foster with her sister, she has made a lot of progress. She likes it when her foster mom pets her and she will ask for a belly rub. Sometimes she even wags her tail. She's also met one visitor and even let him pet her.

She is a well-behaved girl who stays in a room with her sister and has no bad habits. She's also getting along with her foster's dogs. She's a house-trained girl who uses pee pads. And she does well when her foster is away from home.

Teak is becoming a very brave girl who has a lot of potential. She will love a home with pet parents who are around a lot and can continue encouraging her to explore and learn about her new world. Come meet this lovable girl. She may ask for your ID and then want your petting!
Come meet your new best friend
