Pita is a tiny, gentle senior girl with a heart full of sweetness. Despite being deaf and blind, she enjoys life in her own quiet, peaceful way. She loves simple pleasures — eating, sleeping, and taking slow walks around the yard. She’s a laid-back companion who asks for very little besides comfort and kindness.

Pita does have some medical needs. She is deaf and blind, and she is currently on a kidney-friendly diet. Updated lab work will be done soon to monitor her progress. Because of her sensory limitations, she needs help with daily routines — she is carried outside to potty, brought back in, and placed gently in her bed, much like caring for a newborn.

That said, Pita has wonderful strengths:
✨ Housebroken when taken out on a regular schedule
✨ Very loving and calm
✨ Quiet, small, and easy to manage
✨ Doesn’t need to be the only dog and doesn’t require another dog either

Her main challenge is that she can be anxious with changes. When placed in a new environment, she may bark or pace for about a week while she adjusts. Once she feels safe and familiar with her surroundings, she settles into her sweet, peaceful rhythm.

Pita is looking for a patient, gentle home where she can enjoy her golden years surrounded by comfort and compassion. If you’re someone who appreciates a quiet companion and has room in your heart for a special-needs senior, Pita will reward you with unconditional love and the softest little presence by your side.

We at Tired Dog Rescue strive to find homes for dogs in need, build quality relationships with responsible owners, and preserve current dog-family homes by seeking solutions to financial, behavioral, and situational dog problems. We believe the lives of homeless, abandoned and abused dogs are just as precious as dogs that currently have a loving home. We believe that all dogs deserve a loving home despite their age, medical condition and/or disabilities. We provide whatever medical care is needed regardless of cost. All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and current on vaccinations before being placed.
