She loves with all her heart and it comes through with her millions of kisses. Toys are the best! Playing fetch, tug a war, Tahiti is a master catcher and enjoys the game how fast can I destroy this stuffy. Oh and don’t you dare try to put the ones she “not playing with” away. She will pull them back out if you keep them accessible to her.  People are her favorite! All of my neighbors fell for her the moment they saw her. She’s good with older considerate kids (but an adult should always be with). Tahiti also likes to volunteer with her friend Karen for Meals on Wheels. Just another way for her to meet new people!   Tahiti loves to cuddle and get pets. She will let you know when you are done petting. If you stop when she is not ready she will put your hand back where it belongs! She also likes time alone to cuddle with blankets.  Tahiti does great in her kennel while I’m at work. She also does great when left out of her kennel when when I run errands and such. The kennel is a safe place for her. 5/4/22 Foster Feedback:  Tahiti is the best!! She's the unofficial "thank you" dog who meets with all types of donors for photo ops.  Tonight she met with 12 10-year-old girlscouts and was a rockstar!  She got ALL THE LOVE and attention and soaked up every bit of it.  She may not like other dogs, but she LOVES people! 1/25/22 Foster Feedback: How has Tahiti been with me for over a year?!?  Unbelievable as she is easily one of the best foster dogs I've ever had!  She is so very very loving and wants to be loved!  She doesn't get into anything, she doesn't have accidents, she listens amazingly well (I swear she knows every word I say to her).  No one is perfect, her only ask is to not be around other animals - that's it.  Otherwise, I would say she is perfect :) She is so easy to fall in love with and she really deserves a forever home.  Tahiti will bring so much joy into her forever home. 10/10/21 Volunteer Feedback: We just had Tahiti as a guest for the weekend! She is such a wonderful dog. She is totally house trained and kennel trained. Tahiti is so smart and wants to please. She is a 55-pound lap dog at heart and loves attention. She loves to play tug, fetch, or go on walks.  She is dog reactive but has improved so much! If she does react, she will redirect quickly with treats. We try to walk in areas that have few dogs and it’s not an issue.  Tahiti is such an easy dog to have inside the house, her cues are obvious once you understand what  she is communicating She is a wonderful loving companion with so much personality and intelligence. Tahiti is a great choice for a family with no other pets.  4/10/21 Volunteer Feedback:  Super Tahiti Fan Feedback! Just look at that happy face!!!  Tahiti is an incredible dog in sooooo many ways and someone needs to please adopt this girl!!! Tahiti, the dog of a million kisses and tail wags, really is a perpetual fountain of joy!  She is so loved that even though she's been in a great foster home for months, a few of her former caretakers when she was at the shelter still make time to do fun sleepovers, long walks, take her along when running errands and when delivering meals on wheels, and play extra fetch games with her often. We do it because Tahiti brings true joy and happiness into our lives!  Simply put, to know her is to love her.  Tahiti is a One-der, which means she can’t live with other animals, but truly she is such a great dog you only need one pet.  Tahiti likes her kennel, is not destructive, doesn’t beg, has no separation anxiety, is 100% housetrained, and doesn’t even bark at the doorbell!  She loves every single person she meets, but because kids aren’t careful with doors, Tahiti needs a home without children, but they sure can visit! Look again at that beautiful face...If you have a privacy fence and have room in your heart and home for a loving dog buddy, please consider adopting this girl.  3/16/21 Volunteer Feedback: Tahiti thinks the crazy tree by Concordia College is the best obstacle course ever! This beautiful Pittie is available for adoption here at 4 Luv of Dog Rescue. She is completely house and kennel-trained and would make a wonderful companion in a home without other pets or children. She is super smart and wants to please. Tahiti knows her basic commands: sit, stay, down, leave it, look at me, and kennel. She truly is a lovely dog. 2/21/21 Volunteer Feedback: I have been thinking about all of the things that make Tahiti such a great dog: 1. No separation anxiety 2. Kennel trained - she loves her kennel and is quiet in the kennel 3. No accidents in the house - she is 100% housetrained 4. Doesn't whine or beg for food at dinner time. She will just lay down and patiently wait for her turn to eat 5. Is not destructive or a chewer of furniture or pillows 6. Very smart and a dog that wants to please 7. Loves back massages and cuddles on the couch 8. Does not bark at the doorbell 9. Loves people 10. Content to sit and watch you vacuum or do household chores 11. Loves to play fetch, tug, or find the bear (her stuffed toy) hidden under a blanket 12. And most of all, Tahiti does not want to go on walks when it is -10 below. That is an intelligent dog! 2/7/21 Volunteer Feedback:  I cannot believe that this incredible girl has not been adopted yet!  Tahiti is so smart and has really thrived with a schedule.  She is good at letting you know what she needs and is getting so good at self-soothing while I'm working - by grabbing a toy or a bone. Her eyes are beautiful and also act as an almost mood ring.  I can tell when she's tired and just needs a nap when the skin around her eyes gets a little pink.  At night, Tahiti normally sleeps in the kennel and when she doesn't, she will sometimes go to the kennel anyway to stretch out and turn off her brain for a bit in a quiet space.   I swear she understands most of the words I say, and she catches on so very quickly with even subtle training.  Her only asks are for a walk or two a day (sometimes fetch will suffice) and plenty of cuddle and quality time with her family.  Tahiti needs mental stimulation and some exercise to help her relax and enjoy the cuddle time even more. Whoever gets this girl will be incredibly lucky! 1/9/21 Volunteer Feedback: Tahiti is a very special dog and we love spending time with her.  Since Thanksgiving, Tahiti has been a regular visitor to our home several times a week. She is so loving and wiggles with emotion.  Tahiti is a people-person dog, she immediately liked my wife and son.  She also meets strangers well (such as neighbors and other family members that stop by). She does not react or bark when the doorbell rings - quite different from our previous dogs! She loves back rubs especially after she’s been playing hard. Tahiti is reactive toward other dogs but has shown a lot of improvement over the past months.  If we are walking down a sidewalk and a dog is barking at her from inside a house - she shows no concern.  If a dog is barking from a fenced area, she will look but redirects easily. If a dog is walking on the same path toward you she will throat growl.  At that time, we turn around or turn down another street. She will redirect well.  Yesterday we had two surprises on our walks:  the first one coming to a blind corner and meeting up with another dog about 25 feet away.  It surprised both Tahiti and me!  I said come and we walked quickly across the street.  Tahiti didn’t bark or growl.  She just moved alongside me. I was so proud of her!  The second was a dog turning onto the street we were on about 40 feet away.  We just turned around and walked in the opposite direction.  Again, she did not react with growls or barks. She did look back occasionally but would look to me when she did!  So proud again!!!  This morning I let her out in our backyard.  Our neighbor's reactive dog heard us and immediately began barking, Tahiti turned around and ran back in the house!  I couldn’t believe it!  So proud of this girl!!!  Tahiti is a great dog, and once you learn her cues it’s pretty easy to understand what she wants. She needs her nap time and will kennel and sleep easily.  She needs low stimulation- one toy at a time, and a back rub when you’re done playing is her cue that we’re done. She likes to watch you vacuum or prepare dinner. Tahiti likes to lay on the couch while you watch tv - but doesn’t sleep (so that doesn’t count as nap time).  When she’s overtired, she will force herself to go-go-go, like a toddler.  When she gets like that she’s almost relieved to go into her kennel and sleep. She is completely house-trained and knows her basic commands.  She loves the kennel and the quiet security it provides for her to rest. Tahiti loves balls and stuffed animals and Bully sticks. I believe Tahiti will be a great addition to your home, and she really deserves a place to call her forever home. She is a good girl who shows her love for human contact through kisses and plopping her body down on your lap. I think a home without children would be ideal and she needs to be the only dog (pet) in the house as well. 1/2/21 Volunteer Feedback:  The two most scientifically accurate words to describe Tahiti: Squishy Wigglebutt!  I LOVE THIS GIRL!  She is so loving and sweet and wow is she smart!  She really catches on fast - maybe more than any foster I've had.  She understands commands quickly and thrives in an environment with a schedule.  Tahiti knows what time it is and what to expect.  You say "kennel" or "nap time" and she runs to the kennel and waits for her treat before laying down for a nap or to go to bed.  She sleeps in her kennel as we realized that she has trouble turning off her brain to really rest at night and during naps.  So I alternate with some nights in her kennel and others she cuddles up in bed.   As mentioned she would do best with a schedule and continued training to reduce her pulling when walking (she just gets so excited).  With some consistency, and as she just catches on so quickly to positive re-enforcement training, I think she'd do amazing if someone continued working with her.  She can get bored if she doesn't get a walk or two (or a couple of games of fetch in) during the day.  She hasn't been destructive and has had no accidents, she goes to the door when she has to go outside.  We are working on Tahiti learning to self-soothe and to go grab a bone or something to chew on when she's overstimulated, but she is still young and just needs some direction and patience. Tahiti's a champion snuggler who is ALWAYS EXCITED to see people!  She loves walks and playing fetch and listens pretty well, given she's still a youngster. Whoever gets Tahiti will be one VERY LUCKY FAMILY! 11/24/2020 Volunteer Feedback: Hanging out with Tahiti (aka the dog of a million kisses) for the Thanksgiving break. Tahiti is probably the most affectionate dog I have ever met. She loves her people! We’ve been on a couple of walks and she did great ignoring garbage trucks and people. She is house trained and will go potty outside on command. She loves to play fetch and did well giving back the ball by the end! And she absolutely loved her green squishy ball! 11/23/2020 Volunteer Feedback: Each and every day, us volunteers get to learn a little bit more about Tahiti as she starts to come out of her shell. This little wild child loves to go, go, go! We enjoyed some time out and about this morning and chilled in a home setting. She was very excited to be there and wanted to make sure she was a part of everything.  Riding in the car made her a little anxious, but with the help of some cheese (and a good doggy seatbelt) we made the ride a success. We ducked into Petco for a little bit too, and she enjoyed all the smells that they had to offer. She got a little grumbly when another dog was barking at her a lot, but she redirected easily and was much more interested in treats. She LOVES people, of all shapes and sizes. She wanted to make friends with every person, a little social butterfly! 11/21/2020 Volunteer Feedback: Tahiti is absolutely a people dog. She is sweet as pie and will give you enough love that having another pet won't even cross your mind. She wants to be your one and only, the princess in her very own castle! And oh, does she deserve it. While she may not like other animals, Tahiti makes up for it tenfold in all of her qualities. She has a zest for life that just can't be ignored! She loves every single person she meets and everything she does is done with a wagging tail and wiggling butt. She loves to give kisses and be close to her people. Tahiti adores toys and carries them around with her like they are the greatest prize she has ever received. While she may not want to live with other dogs, she isn't reactive on walks. She gives them quiet indifference when passing by and doesn't give them a care in the world. Tahiti does need a little work on her basic manners, but luckily she is very treat-motivated and a quick study! She doesn't ever make a mess in her kennel, but she does get a little sad to be left by herself. I think she would love a family who wants to be active as Tahiti has a lot of energy and wants to get as much out of the day as she can! She is just an absolute love and is sure to be the perfect 4-legged addition to your family.

Look for other dogs for adoption!
