Here’s an update on tater: she loves to play with her foster brothers. She finally got the older foster brother to play with her. He’s a grumpy one. Tater still bounces every where she goes. Tigger would have been a good name. She likes to flop down on your lap as she thinks she is an extra small pup… she is not. I wished I had half her energy. She goes into her kennel now with absolutely no fuss. We are working with her on not trying to get into our faces while we eat and so far she’s doing good. We just say “I’m eating” and she will turn around from you. She will lick you every minute she has a chance to. She’s still talkative, but she’s now starting to bark more. She loves to chew feet.

Well I rolled on something dead and my foster family won’t let me on the bed because they say I stink. Smelled like a good perfume to me.

Hey all! I have good news for everyone! In the next few days I will be going back to my foster for some training and while I am there adoption applications will be taken in for me. I finished the last of my heartworm meds and will need to be retested in 3 months.

For my future family: I have a ton of energy, i gallop and bounce like tigger, I am talkative and I don't know what personal boundaries are so I will smother you with all my love I have to give. I don't like going into my kennel, but with some coaxing I will. I am treat motivated. Still learning to play with toys. I love to watch TV and i'm great around almost everyone! I am a little weary of men and at first I am very shy. It doesn't take me long to open up though. I still chew a bit so when you are away from home or at night it is best to leave me in a knnel. I am spayed, up to date on shots, microchipped, and my heartworms have been treated now. I will need to continue to be on heartworm meds like advantage multi or heartguard for the rest of my life. I am approximately about 1.5-2yrs in age. So I'm still all puppy.

If you would like to put in a adoption application for me you may contact Jess Grief with Pet Haven or you can fill a google document out here, My adoption fee is $150 as I am spayed, up to date on all shots, microchipped, and heartworm treated:

Jess took me on a ride earlier to sonic where I got to see some of the staff members again that fed me when I was a stray and I got a pup cup! It was delicious!

Hey guys, it’s me again! I just wanted to update and let everyone know I am doing well! I’m getting lots of love and still taking my meds, but I caught on to them putting my meds into treats and giving them to me. I’m starting to play with toys more and I get the zoomies!! Unfortunately my foster had some personal issues come up so I’m staying with Jess and her family for a bit. It’s ok though because I get to play with the kids. Jess says I’m a cover hog… I’m not sure what that is, but I’ll own it! I still don’t like my kennel. I howl when i have to go in it. I just want to be with my people. Oh and if anyone wants to donate new bedding for my kennel for me… I chewed my bed up in one of my kennel fits. You can drop it off with Jess at Pet Haven in Ridgely. Thanks y’all!!

This is the shelter that’s helping me on my journey.

We are doing a fundraiser with buff city soap for the shelter. We are doing 2 different scented soaps a male scent and a female one. They are 10 dollars each. We are also selling the soap sleeves for 5 dollars each. If anyone is interested we will be selling until June 10th money is due by June 8th. You can message text or call if you are interested in ordering. We are hoping to put this money toward getting a new fence put up for them to be able to run a play.

That storm was scary, but my fosters didn’t get much damage to their place. I don’t want to leave them though so I’m smothering them with all my love. I just wanted to let everyone know I’m fine. I’m still a bit sore from surgery, but after some rest I should be good as new. Everyone stay safe! I heard my foster say more are coming tonight.

05/26/2024

Hey guys, I’m back from my spay. Jess from pet haven was so nice to take me and keep me another night until my foster could get me. I’m wanting all of the attention and personal space?? What’s that?? My foster brothers met me at the door and while I’m not ready to play yet they were excited I’m home and ready for when I am. I just wanted to let everyone know I’m doing good and one step closer to being able to find my forever home.

Hi all, I’m Tater Tot and I’m here to tell my story to adoption.

I was a stray that showed up around Sonic in Tiptonville, TN. I loved being around people until someone picked me up and it scared me. I wouldn’t come up to people after that because I didn’t understand what was going on. Everyone came to feed me, give me treats, and tried to catch me. I was just too afraid of people though.

Eventually, I was caught and taken to a shelter. I wasn’t at the shelter long. I learned real quick the people were trying to help me and love on me. I had some visitors come see me from feeding me at my time from sonic. I eventually went to the vet and was given some meds for heart worms and some other worms. I was given shots and told I was good to go.

After that I went to a foster home where I have foster brother and sisters. My foster parents are nice and let me on the bed to receive love. They got me my own bed and a kennel to sleep in when they aren’t there and at night. I don’t love the kennel, but I’m getting used to it. They said I smother them when they try to sleep. I just want to be really really close to make sure they don’t disappear. I’m not too sure on my foster sister. She’s a cat and she hisses a lot, but I just ignore her. I get praised a lot for not having an accident in the house, but they put puppy pads out just in case. I got some toys the foster family gave me, but I don’t know what they want me to do with them. One crinkles, but I’m not too sure. I just like to play with the littlest foster brother. He seems really nice.

I’m told I will be spayed tomorrow. Not sure what that means, but I think it means road trip! My fosters tell me I’ll have a nice home with them until I can be placed up for adoption and find a forever home. Until then I’m having a nice time with my foster family.
