Tatum's Story

***06/15/26 - Meet Tatum!<br/>Tatum comes to us from the valley with a pack of other cute pups. He's the biggest of the pack, just under 8 lbs, and a young lil dude about 2 years old ❤️. <br/>Tatum may be the largest, but he is definitely a sensitive lil guy at heart. He is so sweet and working on building his confidence. He will need a family who will appreciate the amazing potential that he brings and can work to bring him out of his shell 🐚. He sometimes runs and hides when he's scared or overwhelmed. More and more, though, he seeks out his foster mama and climbs her leg to sit with her ❤️. <br/>When he first came, he would just run and hide, but now that he is learning to trust he's growing, and needs the right person to help him continue his chi growth journey. He is kennel trained, but is still working on house breaking. He is still pending a neuter, so hoping that will help with some of his accidents, and it doesn't help that it's been raining lol. He also gets into tiffs with his brother, but there's a lot of testosterone in the house as they are awaiting their neuter date. <br/>His neuter is scheduled on the 22nd and he will be ready to go!<br/><br/>***05/26/26 - New intake from RGV, around 2 Yrs, 7.5 lbs
