Here's what the humans have to say about me:
3 - 4 year old Taz bonds very quickly to whoever is caring for him. He ended up in a shelter after he bit a bicyclist who was kicking him. We don't know the full circumstances of that incident, but Taz has yet to make a bad move here - and we've handled him in almost every way possible. At this point, we can only assume that he felt threatened, and was trying to defend himself. However - he will not be adopted to a home with young children due to this history. He seems to get along fine with the other dogs here - not really playing, but co-existing just fine. He will go home neutered, vaccinated against rabies/distemper/parvo, heartworm tested (negative), crate trained, and wormed. He really is a nice dog that just needs a little understanding, patience, and time. He actually is very loving. If you would like to offer Taz a second chance, please submit an application which you can find on our website (www.almostheaven-golden-retriever-rescue.org)
