My story

　　Let’s get this pawty started!Aloha, friends! I’m Tiki, and I’m a 3-year-old male terrier mix, weighing about 25 pounds.  I’m house-trained and potty-trained, but I have a tendency to mark in the house.  But now that I am neutered, I should get better.  I’m leash-trained, too, but I do get a little fearful outside with everything going on around me, but I am working on that and making great progress!My past was anything but a day at the beach. I was set to be euthanized at the Riverside County Shelter, but thankfully I was rescued by TAP just in time! I have an eye injury where I’m unable to blink, and it’s believed to have been caused by abuse.  I’m initially scared of humans because of what I’ve endured, but my foster mama said that I’ve been able to come out of my shell much quicker than she thought.  Now, I’m just a sweet little lovebug!My foster mama says I’m the best, most loving, and loyal dog you’ll ever meet!  Despite what I’ve been through, I’m still able to trust and love with my whole heart.  First and foremost, I love being around my foster family.  I don’t have any separation anxiety when they leave, but boy, do I get excited when they come home! I also love giving kisses, sun-bathing, eating treats, and dressing up in my sweater collection. Did I mention I love other doggies? Playing around with my fellow canines is one of my favorite activities.  I think I’d do okay with cats and children, too, since I have such a big heart. My ideal home would be with a family who likes to get licks and who’d be willing to work with me to build my confidence.  I’d love to have some doggy friends to play with, too.  I also require lubricating eye drops 2-4 times a day, but my foster mama says they are very easy to administer.  If I sound like a trip to paradise, let’s meet! My adoption fee is $350 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.
