About Taco

Meet Taco, a little guy in search of his forever home. Weighing just 8.2 pounds, this young adult male is full of love to give once he feels safe and secure. Taco faced a tough change when he lost his beloved owner, and he's now looking for a family to help him rebuild that trust. Though a bit shy at first, Taco enjoys being held and will warm up with some patience. He might be deaf, so clear communication through visual cues will help him feel comfortable in his new environment. Currently wearing a belly band due to not being neutered, he will need that surgery in the future. Taco has displayed some mounting behavior around other dogs, so a calm and patient setting will be essential for him. His ideal home is a loving one, where his adopters understand that patience is key. With time and reassurance, Taco could become a sweet cuddle buddy. If you’re ready to offer him the love and respect he deserves, Taco could be your perfect match. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
