About Tea
Hurrow there, my name is Tèa, a beautiful 10 month old Staffy x pup sniffing around for my furever home.
I am very sensitive and timid, although I have improved a lot at my current foster home and have even started to make some human friends in the neighbourhood. I still have a long way to go. I need an experienced and patient owner or foster carer who is willing to help me with further socialisation and confidence building, and who is able to manage my fear reactions in new situations. I need VERY slow introduction to new people and I prefer to greet them ONLY when I am ready. Similarly, I am sadly also yet to be okay with approaching other new doggos, I find them really intimidating and often won't know how to react, and can be unpredictable around certain doggos at times, this will be a work in progress for me, so I'll need someone willing to help me gain my confidence as I get older.
I can only do short walks (5-10mins, 4-5 times a day) close to home at the moment but I do LOVE a car ride, if you drive me to a quiet park I am happy to explore a bit together with you but I am not suitable for dog parks or busy places. I still find them a little overwhelming. Getting me out of the car can also be a pain.. so have treats ready to go haha
I am also a sun worshiper so a home with a good sized yard to sunbathe and run zommies is essential. Oh did I mention I also like to dig a bit if left for longer hours so a digging proof fence is also required.
I am very affectionate once I know I can trust you and I will be happy to show you ALL my Ninja moves. I am also super smart, figured out the doggy door myself first day at my foster home and house trained in 3 days. I am an energetic and playful puppy and love to play with my toys, well mainly to tear them apart. I am crate trained and sleep through the night in my crate (8am-6pm normally) and am happy to nap in my crate during the day. I know basic commands like Sit, Drop, Stay and Wait, I learn quickly although some days have a small attention span.. so will need some patience.
I don't pull very hard on walks only when I get excited before car ride or walk passed another dog or person I don't know. My current foster mum uses both flexi leash and training leash, they've been working really well.
An ideal home for me would be a couple or single house hold, without kids and pet free for the moment. I am okay to be left during work hours, although we would much prefer someone who is home more often or part time.
I am such a cute and bright puppy full of quirks, your life is guaranteed filled with laughters and kisses with me around. I'm just craving some TLC, patience and ongoing training so I can be the best version of myself and your most loyal companion.
