Tarpon's Story

At just 1 year old and 17 pounds, Tarpon is a little Chiweenie mix with a BIG personality—and an even bigger heart! <br/><br/>This handsome little guy is the definition of go with the flow. He arrived in his foster home and quickly settled right in, adapting to his new family like he’d always belonged there. His tail is always wagging, he loves attention, and he’s eager to please. Basically, Tarpon’s philosophy is: If you’re happy, I’m happy... now where are my treats? <br/><br/>Tarpon loves people, dogs, walks, playtime, and snuggles. He enjoys exploring outside and happily trots along on leash. Once the adventures are over, he’s more than ready to jump up on the bed and curl up with his humans. <br/><br/>And yes, he has already figured out the important rules of life: potty outside = treats! He is house trained, walks well on leash, travels well in the car, and knows “come here.” He loves plush toys, enjoys playing with his foster dog siblings, and has shown no resource guarding or unwanted behaviors.<br/><br/>Tarpon is a friendly, adaptable sweetheart who seems to take life as it comes. Whether he’s running around outside, playing with his toys, collecting his potty-training paycheck, or snuggling on the bed, he’s just happy to be included. <br/><br/>If you're looking for a little companion who is easygoing, affectionate, playful, and always ready for his next adventure, Tarpon might just be your guy!<br/><br/>If you would like to adopt this dog, please visit www.pupstarzrescue.org for an application!<br/><br/>www.pupstarzrescue.org <br/>Please Follow us on Instagram: @pupstarzrescue<br/>Like us on FaceBook! www.facebook.com/PupStarzRescue<br/><br/>PupStarz rescue cannot guarantee the breed, size, temperament, or age of any dog.
