Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Taco – Your Couch Cuddler and Sun-Loving Companion!
Looking for a devoted snuggle buddy? Taco is your guy! This lovable boy adores affection when he feels comfortable and will happily curl up on the couch, use your leg as a pillow while you work, or soak up the sun in his favorite spot. He’s a total couch potato at heart, a big cuddler, and incredibly sweet.
Taco is also playful and loves outdoor adventures like walks and runs. He knows “sit,” “hi-five,” and even “kill bugs” (super helpful for any unexpected critters!). He’s fully house-trained and does well when left alone, often relaxing in his bed while his humans are away.
He can be selective with other dogs, but once he builds trust, Taco is a fantastic companion. He especially clicks with female huskies! With the right introductions and personality match, he can enjoy the company of other dogs. Overall, he would thrive as the only pet in the home or in a household where well-matched dog siblings are thoughtfully introduced and managed.
Taco is a gentle soul with people. While he can be understandably nervous in new situations, he loves affection on his terms and will roll over for belly rubs or cuddle up once he’s relaxed. The perfect home for Taco is one where he can take his time getting comfortable, with adults who can give him space, patience, and consistent guidance. A backyard or space to run will help him burn off energy, and a family who respects his boundaries and appreciates his playful, clever, and affectionate personality will make him happiest.
Come meet Taco and see how quickly this sweet, clever boy can steal your heart!
