Tai

Say hello to Tai! <br/><br/>Tai's story started in a dumpster, but this adventurous little guy is ready for a much better chapter!<br/><br/>Originally thought to be deaf, Tai was moved to the Columbus area to learn sign language and find his forever home. Then his foster mom discovered something...<br/><br/>She said, "Let's go inside," without making a move-and Tai bee-lined straight to the door. <br/><br/>Not deaf... just selective hearing?<br/><br/>Estimated to be around 5 months old, Tai is excited about EVERYTHING and loves exploring. But he's also incredibly smart! Within 24 hours, he learned to sit for treats, understands "off" and "leave it," and is learning "gentle & easy" when taking treats.<br/><br/> His dream home? Someone who will let him play with the water hose, explore creeks, hike, or hit the beach. A future surfing or skateboarding pup? We wouldn't put it past him! <br/><br/>Tai sleeps quietly in his crate and wakes up to a clean, dry crate. He's about 90% housetrained and still working on remembering to stop his adventures long enough to go potty. Toddler brain! <br/><br/>Our best guess is a bully mix, estimated to be around 50 lbs full grown. He plays like a big dog and is fostered with dogs of all sizes.<br/><br/>Tai is smart, goofy, adventurous, and ready for a family who will keep up with his busy little brain!<br/><br/> Could Tai be your next adventure buddy?<br/><br/>If you'd like to meet Tai, fill out an application online at ricopetrecovery.org.<br/><br/>The adoption fee for Tai is $350 and includes the first two sets of puppy shots. The adoption fee also includes the neuter surgery at our partner veterinarian and a microchip when he is old enough to be neutered. The adopter is responsible for all remaining vaccines and vet care at their own veterinarian.
