My story

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

✨🐾 Hi there! I’m Tapoco, and I’m searching for my forever home! Could it be you or someone you know? 🐾✨

🐾 A little about me:
I’m a handsome 2.5-year-old cattle dog mix, just the perfect size—not too big, not too small. I had a tough start, abandoned at a rural shelter as a puppy where I spent a whole year. It left me with a little separation anxiety, but don’t worry—I’m a people-loving pup who’s great with other dogs! 🐕💙

I’ve found love and safety here at Vet Stop, but I’m ready for my next chapter—with you! I’m a mix of playful and relaxed, making me perfect for any adventure. Want to hike? I’m your guy! 🥾 Want to binge-watch your favorite series? I’ll be your cuddle buddy! 🛋️
I’m a pro on the leash, love squeaky toys, and will settle nicely in the backseat for any road trips. 🚗

🐾 What I’m looking for:
I dream of a home where someone is around most of the time—maybe you work from home, are retired, or just want a loyal buddy for all your adventures. 🌟
I wouldn’t mind a fur sibling, but I’d be just as happy being your one and only. I’ve met kids on walks and love their pets, so I’d likely do great in a family with little humans! 🐾
I’ve seen a cat once—didn’t bother me one bit. 🐱

As the holidays approach, I dream of cozying up in a warm home with a loving family. Could you make my wish come true? 🎄❤️

💌 Let’s meet! Email adopttapoco@gmail.com to schedule a time to come say hi. I’ll be waiting with wagging tail and all my love! 💜
