My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

EMERGENCY PLACEMENT DEADLINE 3PM 02/26/24
Name: Tazz
Animal ID: A819292
Age: 1 year 4 months
Weight: 62.8 lbs.
About: Tazz is a bouncy young boy who, at just about a year and 4 months old, should be bouncing around a home of his own rather than the walls of a kennel. Tazz is on an Emergency Placement Deadline due to kennel census being high. He will need to find placement either with a foster or an adopter through PACC before 3pm 02/26/24.

Tazz does have two minor bites on his record, he is getting overstimulated being here in the stressful kennels, so he will need a home that is willing to work with him on some basic training and activities to keep him active and learning. Tazz gets along with dogs his size and larger but will need a home that doesn’t have small animals, he is prey driven and will chase after cats.

Tazz spent several weeks in foster home where he was housebroken and crate trained. His fosters described him as an energetic, loyal and playful pup who loves toys. Another foster said that Tazz is friendly and loves people. They said that he loves to play and has lots of energy- his favorite toys were a Kong tire and a squeaky rope toy. He was also an excellent cuddle buddy.

On a field trip away from the shelter Tazz showed that he’s an excellent hiking buddy- he did well in the car, enjoyed playing in the water, and has plenty of energy for adventuring.

Tazz shares his kennel with another resident PACC dog and has been playful and social when meeting other dogs in playgroup. He’d like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to make sure it’s a good fit and is looking for a home without cats.
