Hello. My name is Tallulah Rosa. I am a Tibetan Spaniel. I was born on July 5, 2007. I weigh 12 pounds. I am housebroken. I am micro-chipped and spayed. I am in excellent health, thanks to my mom and her long-time veterinarian, Dr. Andrea Trujillo from Smith’s Vet Hospital. I am strawberry blonde/red. I am double-coated and don’t shed except a little bit between spring/summer, and brushing me during that time helps a great deal. I don’t require visits to the groomer, except for the occasional nail clip. I am really low maintenance. I am playful, energetic, funny, and fun-loving. I make trill sounds when I am happy, and I whine a little to get someone’s attention when I need to potty. I play well with other dogs. I have been around lots of children and horses, and they love me, too! I have enjoyed my live-in situations as long as the adults did not leave me alone for long periods of time. I would not enjoy living with anyone who leaves me for more than 3 or 4 hours. I love going for walks. I am great on a leash, and I am great at the dog park off of the lease. I stay close to my companion and return quickly to the words, “Tallulah, Come!” I love to ride in the car. I love lying in the warm sun. I love to lie on my back and move all four of my legs to get a belly rub. I also like to stand on my hind legs and move my front legs up and down, prancing for attention. But I am not needy. Once I get my rub, I can be off and running, unless my companion needs some hugs. I can stay in my companion’s lap or by his/her side as long as he/she wants or needs. I can sleep with my companion, too, although I am perfectly comfortable in my own bed at the foot of the big bed. I really am an adaptable, flexible, happy-go-lucky little girl. My vet says I have a long life ahead to give someone lots of love. I am also told I would be a great therapy or companion dog. I tried to be a service dog, but I couldn’t get all those commands down very well. So my mom had to get another dog to be her service dog that needs her undivided attention. I enjoy bringing joy and calm and love and happiness to people. It is going to be sad for my mom to let me go, so it is very important that she finds the right home for me. She will want to meet any potential new mom or dad or family, and she will want to see where I would live to make sure it is a good match.
