About Tad

Tad has come a long way since he was rescued after spending over a year abandoned on a farm. He’s an adult male, around 5 years old, learning the joys of life as a pet. Tad now enjoys walks on a leash, gets brushed, and even has office time indoors. He’s shifting from a survival mindset to one of companionship and love. Tad does well with training, but will thrive best in a home where he can continue to learn. He is already neutered and up to date on vaccinations, which helps in making him ready for his forever home. While not known for his social skills just yet, he’s eager to bond and build trust. This loyal companion is looking for someone to guide him on this exciting new journey. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
