Taz – Your One-and-Only Best Friend
Taz is the definition of a loyal, loving, one-and-only best friend. This handsome boy wants nothing more than to be the center of your world, soaking up your affection and offering his whole heart in return. He enjoys having his meals and toys in his own space, making him easy to accommodate in a home that respects his boundaries. Taz thrives in a calm, consistent environment without small animals, where he can shine as the household's star.
While Taz tolerates other dogs, he clearly prefers being the only dog in the home. He bonds deeply with his people and deserves a space where he can relax, feel secure, and not have to compete for attention. With humans, he has nothing but love, playfulness, and a “tell me what you want and I’ll do it” attitude.
Back Story
Taz came from a home in Kansas where several dogs were living together in unstable conditions. He lacked early socialization, and when he ended up in the shelter, he was automatically slated for euthanasia due to his breed and inexperience. The shelter reached out to Pets Return Home, and we took him in before his time ran out.
Since then, Taz has grown into a confident, affectionate, people-loving dog who just needs the right home. He tolerates other dogs but thrives best as the only one. What he lacks in social dog skills, he more than makes up for with his devotion to humans.
Behavior Profile
Once Taz chooses you, you’ve gained a loyal companion for life. He loves quiet moments and gentle affection just as much as playful yard time and games of fetch. He is a quick learner who enjoys training games, mental challenges, and working alongside his person.
Taz has excellent house manners, a fun sense of humor, and a snuggly side that comes out when he’s relaxed. He’s crate-trained, leash-trained, eager to please, and happiest when he knows what’s expected of him.
Taz is looking for:
· A single-dog home
· A dog-savvy adopter
· A home without cats or small animals
· A calm, structured environment
· Someone who wants an affectionate, goofy, devoted sidekick
· For families with older kids or active adults looking for a partner in fun, walks, training, and couch time—Taz is a perfect fit.
Positive Attributes
· Extremely loving and loyal
· Listens exceptionally well
· A natural people-pleaser
· Quick learner who loves training and engagement
· Great house manners
· Snuggly and affectionate
· Fun, playful, and full of personality
· Loves both activity and quiet time
· Guaranteed to keep you smiling
· Crate-trained and leash-trained
Behavior Challenges
Needs to be the only dog in the home
No cats or small animals
Prefers meals and toys in his own space
Requires a consistent routine and clear expectations
The Home Taz Is Waiting For
Taz needs someone who appreciates a loyal partner—someone who wants a dog that will adore them, work with them, and enjoy every moment shared. If you’re ready to open your heart to Taz, you won’t just adopt a dog…
You’ll gain a best friend, a teammate, and a daily source of joy.
If you cannot adopt right now, will you help by sponsoring monthly?
You can help sanctuary, adoptable, in-treatment, and new-intake dogs by giving $10 or more each month. Your charitable support helps provide food, medications, veterinary care, training, and love our dogs need while they wait for a family, heal, or live in the sanctuary. Thank you for considering sustaining our mission and lives.

About Pets Return Home Because every dog deserves to be home.
Pets Return Home is a no-kill sanctuary, rehabilitation center, and adoption center dedicated to giving E-listed, homeless, abandoned, abused, and neglected dogs a real chance at life.
Located in Northern Arizona, we provide an enriching free-range environment where dogs learn to trust, play, and rediscover what it means to be a dog. We specialize in dogs who are often overlooked in traditional shelters: the behaviorally challenged, medically complex, and senior dogs.
What Sets Us Apart
We have saved 1200+ dogs once considered too “broken” to live through our rehabilitation and adoption programs. All of the dogs free-range where they play, learn boundaries, and form healthy bonds, as well as have full access to our home, where they learn home living, manners, and family love. Learn more: www.petsreturnhome.org

When you adopt from Pets Return Home, you save at least two lives: the dog you bring home and the dog who now has space to enter our rehabilitation program.
