Tia looks like an Australian Kelpie which is not a dog one sees very often in Toronto because, let's face it, Australia is on the other side of the planet and that plane ride over is a killer unless you're in first class and when was the last time you saw a dog in first class?
I thought Tia might be a prankster when I first saw her but it turns out she's a bit of a shy girl and a little unsure of her situation. We walked outside for five minutes and then she got concerned we were too far from the TAS building and she started to pull to go back. She pulled me right inside the building, upstairs and to her kennel and then when she got into her kennel, she stood there for a second and realized that was no fun either so I took her back into the main hallway and sat with her for a bit, watching all the people looking at the other animals.
The best way to check on the adoption status of this dog (and other dogs and cats and other small domestic animals) is to visit Toronto Animal Services adoption website or call 416 338 6668 for the Toronto Animal Services South shelter. If the dog is no longer on the TAS adoption website, it's probably because it's been adopted already.
She's not exactly a classic beauty, but what an intelligent face! I hope someone can see past this and love her for her soul!
ReplyDeleteI am pleased to say that we adopted "Tia", who we call Bailey in March of 2012, and she is just wonderful. We couldn't love her more.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update Anon. If you ever get any photos you'd like to send in, please do and I'll post them up.
ReplyDeleteShe looks like an English Staffordshire X French Bulldog to me :P
ReplyDeleteWe have a very similar dog! Good dog, loves people, a herding dog, loves a yard. Loves activity, sweet, kind, loyal.
