Tehya is a lovely and affectionate girl with a heart full of sweetness and a gentle spirit that’s just waiting to blossom. While she may be a little unsure at first, especially in new environments, she’s already showing so much potential and warmth as she adjusts and opens up to the world around her.

Initially nervous, Tehya is learning to navigate shelter life at her own pace. She can be hesitant with leash walking, but once she’s outside, her whole demeanor lights up. She absolutely loves being outdoors, taking in all the scents, sounds, and fresh air with tail wags and a quiet joy. A home with a fenced yard and an active family would be a wonderful fit to help her thrive and continue building her confidence. Once comfortable, Tehya is incredibly affectionate—leaning into you for pets, nudging her head and shoulders close for attention, and showing her appreciation with soft tail wags and gentle body language. She isn’t always interested in toys but really enjoys scent-based enrichment like snuffle mats and treats with tasty toppings (hold the peanut butter—she prefers Cheez Whiz and yogurt!).

Tehya is still learning and growing, but she’s already proven to be a sweet, loyal companion who just needs a patient, loving family to help her feel safe and secure. If you’re looking for a kind-hearted dog who will quietly love you with all she’s got, Tehya is ready to start her next chapter—with you.
