Paco Taco

Meet Paco the Taco...a Ta pint-sized Heeler mix who may only weigh 20 pounds, but he has a personality big enough to fill the room! At approximately 1 year old, Taco is the perfect combination of smart, affectionate, loyal, and just plain adorable. He can be a little shy when he first meets someone, but once he realizes you’re a friend, he warms up quickly and his sweet personality comes shining through. And speaking of shining through... Taco has the most adorable smile! When he gets excited or happy, he’ll flash you his signature grin, making it nearly impossible not to smile right back. It’s one of those little quirks that will have his forever family falling head-over-heels for him!<br/><br/> Taco's Herding Resume:<br/> Dogs: Yep! Taco enjoys canine friends and does well with other dogs.<br/><br/> Cats: Also yes...with a disclaimer. Taco can coexist with cats, but his Heeler instincts occasionally whisper, “That cat isn't going where I think it should go. Better fix that.” He may try to herd the household feline, so a cat who is tolerant of a tiny four-legged supervisor would probably be his best match.<br/><br/> House manners: Housebroken! Because Taco is classy.<br/><br/> Crate: Crate trained! He understands that his crate is his little Taco Lounge.<br/><br/> Leash skills: Currently a work in progress. His foster family is teaching him that leashes and walks are fun (not scary)<br/><br/> Brains: Plenty! Taco is one smart little cookie and will thrive with a family that enjoys teaching, training, and keeping his clever Heeler brain busy.<br/><br/> Cuddle factor: High. Once you're in his inner circle, Taco is all about his people.<br/><br/> Medical: Neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped.<br/><br/>At just 20 pounds, Taco is perfectly sized for adventures, couch snuggles, and supervising whatever you're doing. He’s got the loyalty of a Heeler, the brains of a genius, and the smile of a dog who has just discovered that YOU are his favorite person. So if you’ve always wanted a Heeler but thought, “Gee, I wish they came in a convenient travel size...”<br/>GOOD NEWS. THEY DO.<br/>Send an email to kathie@herdinghaven.org if you would like to meet Taco.
