About Taz ~ WAIVED ADOPTION

Taz is a goofy, lovable guy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. At two years old, this medium-sized Pit Bull mix has energy to spare and a real soft spot for treats, peanut butter Kongs, squeaky toys, and puzzling games. He thrives on regular walks and car rides and will happily follow them up with plenty of lap snuggles or a cozy nap in his crate. Taz is crate and house trained, making him an easy companion in the house. His love of people is obvious—Taz greets new friends enthusiastically and relishes relaxing by a window to keep watch over neighborhood happenings.

Taz does well with kids and is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. Consistency, routine, and structure are important to him, and he'll do best with an adopter ready to provide those along with plenty of companionship and play.
