About Tatum

Tatum is a sweet and sensitive boy who is still finding his confidence. He's learning to trust and will thrive in a secure home with a patient adopter. An escape-proof harness and leash training will be essential for him, as he has a tendency to run and hide when scared or overwhelmed. However, he also seeks comfort by sticking close to his human, a behavior we expect will lessen as he becomes more secure. Currently, Tatum is crate trained but hasn't earned freedom indoors yet due to marking issues, which should improve after his neuter on June 22. He's a friendly guy who gets along with other dogs, making him a great addition to an accepting household. With time and patience, Tatum will blossom into a loving companion. Ready to fall in love?
