My name is Tad!

Meet Tad – Your Future Adventure Buddy & Loyal Companion!

Tad is a 1-year, 3-month-old Australian Shepherd mix with a heart as big as his brain. Born in our rescue after his mom was surrendered with her litter of seven, Tad has grown into a peaceful, intelligent, and incredibly loving soul.

When Tad looks into your eyes, you can feel his gentle spirit and sharp mind. He's a playful goof with his foster siblings—wrestling, chewing toys, occasionally sneaking a sock or shirt from the laundry for a little mischief. After playtime, you’ll often find him curled up in his kennel or sprawled out on a dog bed, soaking in a well-earned nap.

Tad is both house-trained and crate-trained, and he thrives on structure and routine. He enjoys sunny backyard days, splashy fun in the water, and quiet evenings watching Netflix by your side. While he’s a cuddle bug at heart, Tad also has energy to burn and would love a home with space to run—he and his brother could go for miles!

Because of his sensitive and thoughtful nature, Tad would do best in a home without small children. He hasn’t been around cats yet, so introductions should be slow and supervised. He’s formed a strong bond with his foster family, so his forever family will need to be patient and loving as he settles in.

Tad is ready for his forever adventure—with someone who understands his heart and gives him the space, fun, and affection he deserves. Could that be you?
