About Taz

Taz is a large, adult male Boxer mixed breed looking for a home where he can thrive. While he can be friendly, he does not get along with cats, so he'd prefer a feline-free environment. His behavior noted in the shelter may only give a glimpse of who he truly is, which means patience and understanding go a long way in helping him adjust. When transitioning to a new home, he could experience different emotions and needs—following the Rule of 3 can help: the first three days can be overwhelming, three weeks helps establish routines, and by three months, he’ll likely feel more settled. Taz is neutered and has up-to-date vaccinations, making him ready for adoption. If you're considering welcoming a dog like him, remember to take it slow and allow for proper introductions to other pets and kids. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
