Tabitha was born about April 1, 2013 and weighs a bit too much at about 90 lbs.  This girl is very proud of her curves and when her favorite human has been gone for a few hours she does the most delightful, bouncy, dance that we've ever seen!   She is absolutely adorable and has been very good with all of us, but terribly shy at first.  She is good with other dogs, fine in the car and on leash.  This gorgeous girl has been tossed away and will be so thankful for a new home where she will be cherished!  She was left at a shelter when her babies were two days old, guess she became an inconvenience.  She was terrified for herself and her infants when we loaded them up to come here just a couple of days later.  She was a very good Mom, surmounted the stress and kept taking care of her babies who grew to be strong and healthy and now she is looking for a new home that will love her unconditionally!  It is obvious that Tabitha has not always been treated well by humans and she is terrified of being touched by new humans and she is terrified of new places.  She will take much time and effort to adjust to a new life, but she is a really wonderful, loving, girl once comfortable.  Due to her fears she truly must have a fenced in yard. Tabitha is too interested in cats to live with any. Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability.
