My name is Tagalong!

Greetings, noble folks of Sherwood Forest and beyond!

Allow me to introduce myself – I am Tagalong, the dashing young squire from the legendary Robin Hood Litter. At a mere 7 weeks old and weighing in at a formidable 5 pounds, I am a pint-sized hero-in-training with a heart as grand as the Sherwood trees. Though my lineage is shrouded in mystery, whispers in the forest suggest I might be part Great Pyrenees, with perhaps a dash of Golden Retriever, Anatolian Shepherd, or even a sprinkle of Collie. But let’s not fret about specifics; what’s important is the spirit within! I’m likely to grow into a “travel-sized” companion, perfect for all your quests and adventures, with an estimated adult weight somewhere between 40 and 60 pounds. Of course, in true hero fashion, I might surprise you with a growth spurt worthy of legend!

Gather 'round, good people, for I have a tale to tell—My story begins in a crowded shelter where my brave mother, my 8 siblings, and I found ourselves after being surrendered. The days were dark, and the shadow of the euthanasia list loomed large over us, threatening to cut our adventures short before they even began. But just when all seemed lost, a beacon of hope shone upon us. A kind and noble foster family, with hearts as big as Sherwood Forest itself, stepped up to save us from our plight. They welcomed us into their home, giving us the second chance we so desperately needed. Thanks to their generosity and love, I, Tagalong, and my merry band of siblings are ready to embark on our next great adventure: finding our forever homes. Our story could have ended in sorrow, but with the help of our foster family, it turned into a tale of rescue, love, and new beginnings.

My foster mama says I’m a bit of a stealthy squire, keeping a low profile but never afraid to unleash my inner rogue. When it comes to being ornery, I’m a seasoned pro! Each morning, you’ll find me at the front lines, ready for action with my brother Skippy. We’re always the first to the kennel door, eager for whatever the day brings—especially if it involves food. Oh, meal times are my favorite! I dash with the speed of a fox to my bowl, not wanting to miss a single morsel. When I'm not indulging in a delicious feast, I'm usually embroiled in epic wrestling matches with my brothers and sisters. We tumble and tussle, creating a delightful ruckus. But, after a day of puppy shenanigans, there’s nothing better than collapsing into a cozy puppy pile with my siblings for a good snooze.

Despite my many talents—like leading the charge to the kennel door and orchestrating epic wrestling matches—I’ve yet to master the noble art of potty training. Fear not, brave souls, for I am eager to learn and am making strides every day. With a bit of patience and guidance from my future family, I’m sure to conquer this challenge just like any heroic quest! So, while I may still have a few accidents along the way, I promise to keep working on it until I’ve become a potty-trained pup extraordinaire! Ah, noble inquirers, I am pleased to report that I, Tagalong, am indeed kennel trained! Yes, you heard it right—this little squire has mastered the fine art of kennel life. With the right guidance and training, I promise to be so charming and well-behaved that even the most reluctant member of your household won’t be able to resist my allure. Yes, I’m looking at you, Dad-who-didn’t-want-another-dog but is now sporting a keychain with my photo on it, showing me off to everyone he meets. "This is Tagalong," he’ll say with pride, "the best decision we ever made!" As a young squire with a nose for mischief, I, Tagalong, have a few thoughts on the noble endeavor called puppy proofing. To ensure your realm remains intact, you’ll need to be prepared for my puppy escapades. Those shiny shoes? Tempting treasures for a curious pup like me! The laundry basket? A potential fort for a daring explorer! And let’s not forget those mysterious cords and wires—perfect for a little tug-of-war. Fear not, brave guardians! With a few simple steps, you can keep your kingdom in order. Secure your valuables, tuck away anything chew-worthy, and perhaps invest in some sturdy chew toys to keep me occupied.

I’m thrilled to report that I do marvelously around kids. Whether they’re embarking on daring quests or just hanging out at home, I’m right there, ready to be their trusty sidekick. I’m as gentle as a summer breeze and as playful as a frolicsome sprite, always up for a game of fetch or a cuddle session. Kids and I get along like peas in a pod, or rather, like biscuits and gravy because let's face it...they are going to "accidentally" drop those peas on the floor for me to eat only to have me spit them back out! I must confess, I am quite the social butterfly (or rather, a social pup). When it comes to meeting new folks, I’m not one to hang back and play it shy. In fact, I’m the canine equivalent of a charming host at a lavish banquet. I stride up with a wagging tail and a friendly demeanor, ready to make friends with everyone I encounter. No need to worry about me hesitating or tiptoeing around—I’ll be right there, front and center, eager to say hello and maybe even steal a belly rub or two. In the doggy kingdom, I’m known for my impeccable manners and my ability to make friends with just about anyone. I approach every new furry face with enthusiasm and a wagging tail, always eager to play and share a good romp. So, if you’re looking for a pup who’ll fit seamlessly into your pack and bring joy to every doggy gathering, I’m your guy! So, while my history with cats remains a chapter yet to be written, I’m sure I’d fit right in with your feline royalty, learning the art of coexistence and maybe even earning a spot in their good graces.

During the day, I’m up for adventure and playtime, ready to romp around and engage in lively puppy antics. Whether it’s a spirited game of fetch or a thrilling chase with my siblings, I’m all in! But come evening, I transition into the ultimate couch companion, ready to lounge and bask in some well-deserved relaxation. I’ll happily curl up beside you for a cozy nap or a peaceful evening of quiet cuddles. When it comes to lifestyle preferences, I am the perfect balance between a daring explorer and a cozy couch potato. I’m all for an energetic romp in the park or a spirited game of fetch—nothing gets my tail wagging like some action and excitement. After our adventures, I’m more than happy to transition from explorer to lounge artist, finding the comfiest spot on the couch for some well-deserved relaxation. While I haven’t quite mastered the art of returning the ball with a flourish, I’m definitely a fan of toys. They’re like little treasures that spark my curiosity and playful spirit. So, while I may not be bringing the ball back (yet!), I’ll still make every play session a joyful affair, exploring and enjoying every toy in sight. If you’re seeking a pup who can match your energy level—whether it’s for action-packed fun or a serene night in—I’m your perfect blend of playful and chill.

So, brave hearts of Sherwood Forest, if you’re seeking a dashing companion to join you on your daily quests, look no further than me, Tagalong! With my blend of adventurous spirit and cozy charm, I’m ready to be the Robin Hood of your household—stealing hearts and bringing joy with every wag of my tail.

Don’t let this chance slip away; come and make me part of your merry band. Together, we’ll write a new legend filled with playful escapades and heartfelt cuddles.

Until then, may your days be filled with laughter and your nights with cozy dreams. With paws ready for action and a heart full of love, I, Tagalong, await the moment our adventures begin!

Yours in mischief and merriment,
Tagalong, the Merry Pup
