Taz's Story

Meet Taz! Taz is an 8-year-old senior German Shepherd mix weighing in at 78 lbs. Don’t let his senior status fool you, though– Taz is a puppy through and through. <br/><br/>Taz is friendly and enthusiastic. He’s a staff favorite who adores every person he meets and will happily greet them with tons of affection. Taz is energetic and loves running and playing, especially with a soft squeaky toy! He’s also very food motivated and will happily gobble up treats of any kind.<br/><br/>Taz is making great progress on his potty training in-shelter. While he still has occasional accidents, he’s been doing a much better job at keeping his kennel clean than when he first came into the shelter, and would likely flourish in a home with consistency and routine.<br/><br/>Taz has met with other large dogs and done fantastically, meaning he would likely do well in a home with other dogs. A meet-and-greet is still highly recommended to test compatibility. We’re not sure yet how Taz feels about small dogs, cats, or other animals. He may also do better in a home with older or more dog-savvy kids because of his large size and high energy.<br/><br/>Come meet Taz today, and he’ll become your favorite, too!<br/><br/>Since many of our adoptable dogs are in foster homes, appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt!<br/><br/>Our adoption fees include the following: all of our dogs/puppies are current on vaccinations (DHPP and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, heartworm tested and current on preventative, microchipped, treated for fleas/ticks and are spayed or neutered. Our large dog adoption fee is generally $175 + tax. Our small dog and puppy adoption fee is generally $300+ tax. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances. Due to space limitations, we do not hold dogs.<br/><br/>Because we are on a busy street, we require that all dogs leaving the shelter be in a carrier or on leash. All pets remain up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee paid.
