My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Taz is a handsome young dog who came to the shelter as a stray. He’s wowed us with his charming personality and has quickly become a volunteer favorite. Here’s what one of his friends had to say:

“What a gentleman! Taz was easy to handle and a good walker when I took him out of yesterday. He wasn’t reactive to his neighbors, didn’t pull much and was attentive. He was showing off his perfect sit and taking treats softly. He even stood up and gingerly put his front paws on my shoulders without knocking me over. That’s a serious balancing act!
I was pleasantly surprised by his good behaviors and rewarded him with an extra long walk and lots of sniffing. Good job Taz!”

Taz generally kept to himself when meeting other dogs in playgroup and would like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to ensure a good fit. Ask to meet Taz today!
