About Tater Tot

Introducing Tater Tot! This charming little guy is ready for his forever home. In just a few weeks with his foster family, he has captured the hearts of everyone—especially children. Tater loves kids and has quickly proven to be great with other dogs too. His favorite nights are filled with game nights, where he gets to play with a bunch of kids aged 5 to 13. He enjoys fetching toys, playing tug-o-war, and going for walks alongside his human companions. At just 2 years old, Tater has that energetic puppy spirit. He prefers a home where he can romp around in a yard and would thrive with a family that enjoys regular walks. Though he adores children, a home with kids aged 5 and up would be ideal due to his springy personality. Tater is potty trained and eager to learn new commands like “inside” and “outside.” He does have a habit of alert barking indoors, so he’d feel more at home in a place where noise won't bother the neighbors. A bit of confident training can definitely help manage that behavior. Tater is neutered and up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and ready to share his joy with a loving family!
