About Taz

Taz is ready to find a family he can call his own. This pint-sized Chihuahua weighs just 13 lbs and is about 2-3 years old. He’s both potty trained and crate trained, making him a great addition to your home. Despite an old, fully healed fracture in his back right leg, Taz doesn’t let it slow him down. An orthopedic surgeon has confirmed he requires no treatment, and he navigates steps with ease. Taz has begun to discover that the world is a welcoming place. While he can be cautious around strangers—sometimes offering a protective bark—he's recently shown a brave side by approaching new people for affection and giving sweet little licks. When it comes to other dogs, Taz might initially act like he's the boss for the first couple of days, but don’t be fooled; soon he’s all about cuddling with his canine buddies. He’s also great with cats, usually ignoring them, which makes him a good fit for a feline household. Taz would thrive in a patient and loving environment where he's given time to adjust to new situations. He’d make an ideal companion for a retiree or someone who enjoys quiet walks and car rides. Homes without young children would be best for Taz. He's ready for a little adventure, perhaps a car ride with a pup cup? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
