TAKU's Story

NAME: TAKU<br/>GENDER: MALE<br/>BREED: MIX<br/>COLOR: BLACK<br/>AGE: 2 YEARS OLD<br/>WEIGHT: 35lbs<br/>SPAY OR NEUTER: Yes<br/>MICROCHIP: Yes<br/><br/>If you would like to give TAKU by a forever home, please go to <br/>www.adoptadoggie.org to fill out an online application with home photos.<br/><br/>Taku is a sweet and well-behaved boy! He loves everyone he meets and good with dogs of all sizes. Taku has a rough start in life. However, it doesn’t stop him from loving and trusting humans. He is doing well in his foster home and ready for a forever home. Taku started some leash training and is learning at a good pace. He is crate-trained and doing well on his house training. Taku loves his trips to the doggie park and absolutely enjoys hiking in the woods. Taku is a wonderful dog and will make a good family dog. <br/><br/>Taku’s Rescue Story<br/><br/>Taku and Taki were abandoned on the streets. They must have been starving for quite some time. They wanted to please yet were so scared on the streets. A kind lady was traveling with her dog and saw them. She had some food and quickly shared some with them and they ate really fast. The kind lady’s dog is not good with other dogs and so she couldn’t take them in. She quickly contacted a rescue group. Within a few days, the rescue finally came to catch them. TNR rescue groups specialize in getting stray animals spayed and neutered and the animals are returned to their original location to live as homeless dogs. TNR programs help with the overpopulation of unwanted animals. The volunteer caring for them loves them and didn’t want to see them back on the streets. The volunteer reached out to an experienced international rescue organization to help with them and some other puppies that are still too young to be released back to the streets. The founder of the rescue organization has over 160 dogs waiting for homes. She really does not have space for another dog. However, she could not bear to see them suffering on the streets. She agreed to take them home and give them a chance in life. <br/><br/>Taku had a thorough medical checkup. He had been neutered, vaccinated, microchip, and passed negative on his blood tests. Please give Taku a loving home where he will never be left behind again. <br/><br/>Please watch Taku’s YouTube videos below:<br/>https://youtu.be/k_GURr6cDMk - Taki & Taku eating<br/>https://youtu.be/nuIfhcEniXY - Taku no food aggression<br/>https://youtu.be/cb_ekmRsk5g - Taku in Public<br/>https://youtu.be/lhTHCa1wLww - Taku walking<br/>https://youtu.be/KPmFcI5C1vE - Taku good with people<br/>https://youtu.be/Hdr7fnfBNLE - Taku good with people<br/>https://youtu.be/fih5-D_N3uQ - Taku Vet Checkup<br/>https://youtu.be/HP_Jk4pEhxg - The rescue of Taku & Taki<br/><br/>If you would like to give TAKU a forever home,<br/>please go to www.adoptadoggie.org to fill out an online application.<br/>Please email your home environment photos to contact@adoptadoggie.org<br/>Once we approve your application, we will get back to you ASAP.<br/><br/>Adopt a Doggie Facebook:<br/>https://www.facebook.com/pages/Adopt-a-Doggie/312107112299799 <br/><br/>Temperament: <br/>Energy Level: Medium<br/>Ideal home environment: Both Quiet & Active<br/>Is the dog good with strangers: Friendly<br/>The dog is best with children of what age group?
