My story

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

Meet Taz! This scruffy little one is an 8-year-old Yorkie mix weighing a dainty 6 lbs. Taz was an extremely nervous boy when he first entered our care, so he's been decompressing in his loving foster home and adjusting to this new normal. His foster has been taking things slow, letting Taz go at his own pace, and he's slowly beginning to open up to show his true personality. This sweet guy loves food and gets excited anytime there are treats around. Taz will need a patient adopter who's willing to take things slow and give him the time he needs to settle into his forever home. This sweet little pup has so much love to give—he just needs someone to show him what it means to be loved in return. If you’re ready to welcome a deserving senior pup into your home to enjoy his golden years, consider Taz.

More about this shelter

Wags and Walks is a community of dog lovers working to promote shelter dogs as the best dogs in the world through advocacy of our unique family-friendly foster and adoption programs.

Wags and Walks is focused on advocating for wrongfully stereotyped bully breeds, medical dogs, and mamas + puppies that are often overlooked and at-risk due to overcrowding. We do not select dogs based on their size, age, or breed. We select our dogs on a case-by-case basis, factoring in our ability to help and their likelihood of thriving when placed in the right home.

We know that, like amazing dogs, loving families come in all shapes and sizes. Our goal is to find every pup an adopter whose home, family, and lifestyle are a perfect fit for a lifetime of love and happiness.
