My story

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

Introducing Tad – the cuddle bug with a heart of gold and exactly zero teeth 🦴💤

At 9 years young, Tad is living proof that age brings refined cuddling skills, a love of naps that rivals any house cat, and a deep, spiritual connection to soft blankets. He’s blind. He’s deaf. And he’s still out here being a better roommate than your last three Craigslist finds combined. ✨

Tad is the definition of low-energy living. He’s not looking to run marathons (or walk the block, let’s be honest), but he’ll happily wander a fenced-in yard like a tiny, adorable grandpa on vacation, sniffing the flowers and soaking up the sun like it’s his job. ☀️🌸

He loves:
• Warm laps 🐾
• Soft food (chewing is so last decade) 🍲
• Cozy beds (preferably your bed, because he’s a snuggle expert) 🛏️
• Friendly cats and calm doggy pals 🐶🐱
• Polite children who know to say “excuse me” before startling a gentleman with limited senses 👧👦

Now, let’s be real: being blind and deaf in a new place takes some adjustment.When Tad first arrived at his current and previous Foster’s homes, he got a bit lost and undoubtedly wondered “Who moved my couch?”. But give him some time, a warm blanket, and snuggles, and he’ll settle in like he’s lived there his whole life. 🛋️❤️

He’s mostly housebroken, which is to say he tries real hard and politely lets you know when it’s time for business—especially the #2 kind. 💩 He’s had some accidents, but we’re checking with the doc to see if something medical’s going on. Either way, he’s a gentleman and makes up for everything with pure love and a tail wag.

Crate? No problem. Pen? He’s cool. Quiet? He’s practically a Zen master.

Tad is not high maintenance—unless you count being adorable 24/7 as a full-time job. He’s ready to spend his golden years as your loyal sidekick, nap buddy, and soulful snuggler. 🐾💕

Adopt Tad—because nothing beats a warm marshmallow who loves you back.

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
