MEET TACO: 25 POUNDS OF PURE AWESOMENESS

Taco is 8 months old, about 35 pounds, medium-sized-ish, ridiculously lanky, and appears to have been assembled using approximately 60% legs, 30% ears and 10% actual dog.

He's affectionate, curious, playful, smart and currently accepting applications for someone willing to fund his lifetime supply of snacks and adventures.

Let's start with the important stuff:

Crate trained
Potty trained
Loves other dogs
Smart
Treat motivated
Affectionate
Excellent ears
Absolutely NO understanding of how one politely enters a lap

Taco doesn't just come inside after playing.

Taco makes an entrance.

He can spot an available lap from across the room and apparently thinks:

“LANDING ZONE CONFIRMED.”

Then...

LAUNCH.

Twenty-five pounds of legs, ears and happiness comes flying across the room directly at you.

Personal space?

OTHER DOGS: 10/10, WOULD RECOMMEND

Taco absolutely LOVES other dogs.

Play with dogs.
Run with dogs.
Wrestle with dogs.
Investigate things with dogs.
Probably form a small neighborhood gang with dogs.

He'd be thrilled to have a canine buddy who enjoys a good romp and doesn't mind living with a teenage gazelle disguised as a puppy.
