About Taz

He brings a lot of energy into any space, and he’s happiest when he’s got company to learn with or a yard to run in. Taz is making progress on house training and basics like sit and stay—he clearly wants to make his adopter proud. Whether you’re looking for a future hunting buddy or want a dog to curl up on the couch with, Taz can go either direction.
