Tater (MR26-138)'s Story

Tater is a 3-year-old terrier mix weighing 17 lbs, with a gentle and sensitive nature. He's still learning how to feel comfortable socializing around humans and can be a bit shy at first. Tater does best with a slow, calm approach, allowing him to build trust at his own pace. He loves to rest and sleep, enjoying quiet moments where he feels safe and relaxed.<br/><br/>Tater gets along well with other dogs, and they've been a big help in building his confidence and social skills. He would do best in a home with another confident dog to continue guiding and reassuring him. A securely fenced-in yard is also important so he can safely explore and gain confidence in his surroundings.<br/><br/>With patience, positive reinforcement, and gentle encouragement, Tater will continue to grow more comfortable over time. He would benefit from training to help him learn how to walk on a leash and become more at ease with grooming routines.<br/><br/>Tater will need to go home with a secure, properly fitted harness to help keep him safe as he continues learning leash skills.<br/><br/>Tater is looking for a patient, understanding home that will give him the time and space he needs to blossom and truly come out of his shell. A meet and greet at the shelter is required to ensure the best fit for both Tater and his future family.<br/>------<br/>Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!
