About Taco

Meet Taco, a joyful 8-year-old Maltese and Miniature Poodle mix looking for a forever home, preferably alongside his sister Bella. Weighing 18.8 pounds, Taco showcases a delightful blend of playfulness and relaxation, enjoying leisurely walks, playful bursts of energy, and sunbathing sessions. When it's time to wind down, he's all about cozy snuggles on the couch. Taco is very affectionate and greets his favorite humans with adorable leg kicks and kisses. He adapts well to being alone for a few hours but thrives when near his people. Having learned commands like sit, lay down, and come here, he's both smart and eager to be involved in family activities. Taco is comfortable living with both dogs and cats but can exhibit protective behavior towards his person. He's been improving with resource guarding but could benefit from a patient, understanding home, preferably without young children, as he can get a bit nippy when overly excited. He can be reactive on leash, but he corrects easily and continues to learn. With his loving demeanor and goofy charm, Taco is ready to fill your home with joy and laughter. Could Taco and Bella be the perfect fit for your family? Click apply to start the adoption process.
