My story

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

Need a dog that can double as a model? Then Tahoe is the guy for you! He is always camera ready and loves to flash his famous smile. Tahoe loves to explore outdoors, learn a new trick or hang out after a long day so there will be many fun photo opportunities for you. He's a happy guy who loves to sniff and stroll letting his nose guide him to the closest yummy thing he can find. Sometimes, he has a hard time understanding that not everything he finds is meant to be a snack. Our trainers have been working on teaching him "drop" so they can help him decipher what he can and can't eat.

Tahoe's adoption fee will be waived as part of our Patient Paws special.
