Animal Profile: Tisane is estimated to be around 2 years old and weighs roughly 10lbs. She was found as a stray along with another poodle (Vata) and they were brought into RASKC by a good samaritan. Tisane struggled in the shelter environment and after an unsuccessful adoption, she was transferred over to our care. 

Foster Update: After a few days of getting settled in and acclimated, Tisane has shown us that she is a total sweetheart but still very nervous and uncomfortable around loud noises or sudden movements. She seems pretty indifferent so far to my dogs; she occasionally shows interest/sniffing but doesn't engage much. At this time, she is pretty anxious when alone and we are working on building up her confidence and working through some separation anxiety. She did well with her bath and is getting a much needed grooming! We've noticed that Tisane is quicker to trust women but is able to bond with men, just a little slower. This was the case with her previous failed adoption (she bonded to the female in the home but was fearful around the male person). We've been working with her trust around men and my husband is able to take her outside and she will accept a treat from his hand. At this time, we are looking for an adult-only, quieter home that can offer the patience to help Tisane settle in and a commitment to helping her continue to grow her confidence.
