My personality

My story

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

Taquito is a sweet man. He's very silly and has a lot of energy, but will calm down if given a good butt scratch. He's a bit of a lady's man. He loves the water and wouldn't be scared to go swimming and adventuring wherever you take him. He doesn't do well with male dogs, but does okay with some females, he's just a little particular. He loves all people, though.

Additional adoption info

After applying for an adoptable animal we screen all adopters via application, phone interview and meet/greet. Once that has gone through we will schedule a home visit to ensure everyone is happy with their decision.
If the home visit goes well and the adopter wants to move forward we will leave the pet in their possession and allow them to "foster" for up to two weeks to make their final decision. If the decision is to adopt, we will finalize paperwork, collect the adoption fee, and transfer all information to the new adopters.
