About Tara

Tara stands out in her litter of eight with striking green-hazel eyes, making her easy to spot among her sisters. She’s one of the five females still waiting for a family, and, like her siblings, Tara has a gentle, approachable temperament. The entire group has shown an easygoing, sweet nature that fits seamlessly into family life, especially households with children—these pups are naturally kid friendly and thrive on attention. Tara is about six months old and weighs around 50lbs; she’s well into the lanky, playful puppy stage and is expected to be spayed soon. Her bicolor coat is short and easy to care for, which makes daily living simpler. Tara has been socialized with other dogs and knows how to navigate group settings. She isn’t yet house trained, so she’ll need a bit of patience and guidance as she learns the ropes in a new home. She’s looking for someone willing to invest time in her development as she matures. Tara is currently in LAMPASAS, TX, and ready for visitors. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
