Here’s some notes from his foster:
Introducing Tillamook, an 11-year-old Chihuahua mix with a heart of gold and a quiet demeanor that speaks volumes. This sweet senior pup may be shy and introverted, but beneath his timid exterior lies a world of love and loyalty waiting to be discovered.
Tillamook is a gentle soul who prefers the comfort of quiet spaces and the reassuring presence of a patient friend. He may take some time to warm up to new people and environments, but once he trusts you, he’ll be your most devoted companion for life.
Despite his reserved nature, Tillamook still craves human connection and affection. He finds solace in gentle pats and soft words of encouragement, and his eyes light up with gratitude whenever he feels safe and loved.
In a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming, Tillamook seeks a calm and understanding home where he can truly be himself. He thrives in tranquil surroundings where he can relax and unwind, knowing that he’s surrounded by kind souls who appreciate him just the way he is. On most days, he just picks his favorite place on the couch and or bed and just likes to watch what his people are up to. He usually sits in his spot and quietly observes what everyone else is doing. He doesn’t bark at all and is a quiet little boy.
While Tillamook tends to be quiet and reserved at home, he truly comes alive during his walks. His tail wags eagerly as soon as he realizes it’s time for a stroll, showing his excitement in his subtle way. During our outings, Tillamook displays a friendly demeanor towards both people and other dogs he encounters. He handles interactions with ease, remaining calm and composed even in the presence of barking dogs, simply choosing to walk away peacefully.
Tillamook’s quirks add a special touch to his charming personality. Once he discovers his favorite spot in the house, you can bet he’ll be there, lounging contentedly for the majority of his time, enjoying every moment of relaxation. Interestingly, during meal times, Tillamook prefers privacy; he’s quite particular about not being watched or having anyone in the room. It’s only when he’s certain he’s alone that he’ll happily indulge in his food. Remarkably, his potty training is impressively reliable, needing just three short walks a day, though he positively thrives on longer strolls, his tail wagging with every step. When it comes to being picked up, Tillamook can be a tad sensitive-perhaps it’s a touch of arthritis or simply a matter of trust, but it’s something to handle with care. To help him feel more at ease, a sprinkle of encouraging words, gentle hugs, soft pats, and tender kisses work wonders in coaxing him out of his shell. With his shy disposition, patience is key; Tillamook blossoms best with understanding and gentle guidance.
While Tillamook may not be the life of the party, he has a quiet charm and a loving heart that shines brightly for those who take the time to see it. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will cherish every moment spent by your side, Tillamook is the perfect match for you.
Come meet Tillamook today and discover the beauty of embracing the gentle spirit of a shy and introverted senior dog. Together, you’ll create a bond that transcends words and fills your heart with unconditional love.
