Meet Taz, the vibrant, spirited 1-year-old furball who’s on a quest to find his forever family! 🐶 Taz is a delightful mix of Australian Shepherd and a few surprise breeds that only add to his charm. Weighing in at a healthy 35-40 pounds, he’s got a heart as big as his energy levels! 😄 Taz arrived at NCCR on January 16, 2026, making a grand entrance from an overcrowded shelter that didn’t give him the chance he deserved. But now, he's ready to shine and make his way into your heart! ❤️ This sweet boy gets along famously with other dogs and cats, and he has a special place in his heart for older kids. Whether it's a game of fetch or a snuggle session on the couch, Taz is the perfect blend of fun and affection! 🤗 Now, let's talk about this guy's needs. As an energetic herding breed, Taz craves mental and physical stimulation. He dreams of a family who can keep him busy and happy, perhaps with some agility training or a job to do! Imagine the joy of watching him zoom around during outdoor playdates! 🌟 Trust us, Taz will make the happiest of good boys with the right family! If Taz has tugged at your heartstrings, guess what? Your journey begins with the Buddy App! 🌈 Just apply through the app to start the process of making this lovable boy a part of your family.
