My story

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

Tater was a stray that BHS took into custody after his stray hold from the county animal shelter. Tater appears to be a Terrier mix. He looks like he may have Patterson Terrier breed in there somewhere. He is estimated to have been born November 2024. He is a very active puppy with lots of energy. He is learning to potty outside but also uses puppy pads when in the house . He sleeps well in a crate a night. It appears he may have been taken away from the litter at a young age, as he wants a lot of attention from humans. This is not a bad thing but requires lots of time. Not recommended with young children due to his nibbling habit which should stop after the teething stops. Recommended to a home that does not leave him in a crate all day. Maybe take to a day care if the adopter works full time. Tater does love to play fetch and tug-of-war. He is a handful of energy that will turn into a dedicated adult. He is up to date on his vaccines according to his age.

He would be adopted unneutered, and requires a neuter contract that the adopter will need to follow. His neuter cost is included in the adoption fee but there is an additional $50.00 refundable deposit to lock that neuter contract.
Since he is not yet neutered, Tater is not available for adoption outside of the counties contiguous to Bedford County.
