Meet Takis

Hi there! My name is Takis, and I’ve got quite the story to share about my new life in my foster home. Just a little while ago, I was picked up from dog jail. It wasn’t fun there, but now I’m in a much better place with my new family and my awesome big brother Tito. When I first got here, I was really shy. Everything was so new and a bit scary. But Tito has been a great help, showing me the ropes and making me feel at home. He’s super patient and has taught me so many things! For instance, I’ve learned how to tell Mom and Dad when I need to go potty. It’s really great because I get lots of praise and sometimes even a treat!   Speaking of treats, I’ve also been practicing sitting, coming when called, and laying down. Mom and Dad seem really happy when I do these things, which makes me happy too. They keep saying I’m a quick learner. I have to admit, I’m pretty eager to learn as much as I can.    Now, about the kennel – I’m not the biggest fan. It feels a bit confining, and I’d much rather be out and about. But, I’ve discovered that sometimes there are treats in there! That’s made it a bit easier to warm up to it.    One of my favorite things in the world is snuggling with Mom and Dad. They give the best cuddles, and I love feeling so safe and loved. Playing is another thing I can’t get enough of. I could play all day long! I think I might be wearing Tito out with all my energy, but he’s such a good sport about it.   Overall, I’m really happy here and excited about all the new things I’m learning and experiencing. I have so much love to give, and I can’t wait to share it with my new family every day. Life is pretty great now that I’m out of dog jail and with these wonderful people and my best buddy Tito. Takis is from a local shelter. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.
