A little bit about Tiki

Hi. I'm Tiki.

Yes, like the tiny tropical drink. I'm a small Siberian Husky-tiny for the breed, but full of personality.

Let me be upfront: I'm not a touchy-feely kind of dog. I'm very head shy and don't want to be petted or fussed over. That might change someday, or it might not-and either way, that's just part of who I am. I'm not broken or mean; I just have my boundaries, and I'd love a home that respects them.

That said, I'll absolutely chase a toy with everything I've got. I won't bring it back, of course-I'm a husky, not a retriever-but I'll happily do zoomies with it and keep myself entertained. I don't need constant attention or affection to be content. I'm an independent girl who's perfectly happy doing her own thing, quietly and confidently.

True to my breed, I prefer peace, space, and the freedom to observe without being smothered. I'm okay with other dogs if we have a slow and respectful introduction. I could thrive in a home with older kids-think middle school age or above-who understand that not every dog wants to be hugged or touched all the time.

I didn't end up in the shelter because I did anything wrong. Life just changed, and through no fault of my own, I need a fresh start.

So, if you're looking for a calm, independent companion who doesn't demand much, but still brings a quiet kind of presence to your life-one who will chase toys, mind her business, and never be clingy-maybe I'm the one.

Not every dog wants to be your shadow. Some of us just want to walk beside you, on our own terms.

If that sounds like your kind of relationship, I'd love to meet you.
