Meet Tara- your new best friend! Tara is ~30lbs of love and affection. At only 1 1/2 years old, Tara still has a lot of young dog energy and loves to play. She did well when meeting with our helper dog and they had a blast playing with each other. Tara's previous home said she is good with children and other dogs, though she has been noted to LOVE chasing squirrels and small animals so may be a bit too much for a household with a cat! We recommend bringing the whole family to meet her and make sure they love her as much as we do! We also recommend bringing any pups from home to meet her and see if their play styles match. Tara can be a bit shy when meeting new people but will quickly warm up when offered some kind words and a loving hand. In no time, she'll be attached to your hip and asking for pets! If you or your pet are looking for a companion, come meet Tara and see if it's a match!
