Taz's Story

Meet Taz The One They Almost Left Behind <br/><br/>Taz is a 1-year-old, 35 lb. bundle of gentleness, resilience, and quiet hope. Once surrendered to Santa Cruz Animal Care &amp; Control with his brother, both were absolutely terrified trembling and frozen in fear. His brother was rescued first, but Taz was left behind alone and afraid. Days later, as the shelter filled and time ran out, Tazs name appeared on the at risk for space list. <br/><br/>He hadnt done anything wrong he was just shy, scared, and needed time. But time was the one thing he didnt have.<br/><br/>Thats when Paws Without Borders stepped in and saved his life, giving him the second chance he never thought hed get. Now safe in a foster home, Taz is learning what love really means. <br/><br/>Hes still shy with new people and the big, noisy world but every day, hes finding his confidence. Beneath the fear lives a silly, sweet, soulful dog who wants nothing more than to trust, to love, and to belong.<br/><br/>He watches lizards like its his favorite TV show , quietly collects socks like love letters , and only barks when hes playing the happiest sound youll ever hear. He adores his crate, is house-trained, gentle with kids, and friendly with cats and dogs alike.<br/><br/>Taz is the kind of dog who doesnt rush love he earns it.
