Here's what the humans have to say about me:
"Tazz" is a 2-3 yo neutered male longcoated GSD mix who is very affectionate, playful and energetic. Tazz is friendly with everyone he meets. He has not been around young kids since we rescued him, but I have no doubt he will be great w/ little ones--though he might knock them over in his exuberance. Tazz loves to give kisses so if this grosses you out, keep looking! Tazz weighs about 55 lbs.
Tazz is great w/ other dogs, male or female, small or large. He formerly lived w/ a large male GSD who he got along well with, and presently lives w/ a male GSD mix about the same age as him--the two are good buds.
We don't know how Tazz is w/ cats, so for now we will only consider a home without cats for him.
Tazz is fully housetrained and loves being inside. He is non-destructive when left inside for several hours. Tazz could definitely use w/ some basic obedience training, as he tends to run off to explore (though not very far) if he gets outside off-leash. When on-leash, Tazz tends to pull a little but he's not a particularly strong dog so doesn't pose much of a challenge. Tazz is not the protective type but he will bark when he senses something out of the norm. He enjoys going for car rides and is a great co-pilot.
One of GSRSV's foster caretakers took Tazz in from a neglectful (though not physically abusive) situation on 11-20-16. Tazz's former owner adopted him from the Sac County shelter on 8-13-15. Tazz was kept in a filthy dog run w/ another GSD and rarely walked. His long coat was so badly matted that we had to have it completely shaved by a groomer; it's still growing back. (See the picture of Tazz pre-shaved--he has a beautiful long coat.) Tazz was also seriously underweight, which explains his eagerness when it comes to eating. (We suggest keeping food out of reach.)
Tazz would do well in a home with another playful dog and an active family. He is still in his foster home in Antelope. His adoption fee is $210.
