Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Taz arrived at NCCR on 1/16/26, transferred from an overcrowded shelter to give him a better chance at finding his forever family. He is a 1-year-old neutered male, thought to be a mix of Australian Shepherd and probably a few other breeds. He weighs around 35 – 40 lbs. and is full-grown. Taz reportedly gets along well with other dogs and cats, and does great with older kids. As with all young dogs, but especially with herding/working breeds, Taz will need a substantial amount of daily mental & physical activity to keep him happy. A family that can give him a job to do or teach him a challenging activity like agility would make him the happiest of good boys!
*Approved applicants are welcome to participate in our popular Slumber Party program and take a dog home for up to 2 weeks to make sure he/she is a great fit.
If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Adoption Application at www.caninerescue.org. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again when you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email us at adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email, as we receive many phone calls each day.
We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.
*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide. If they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them.

Additional adoption info
We try to match each dog with its new home so that chances for a successful, lifetime placement are much higher. Each interested party is asked to fill out an application (www.caninerescue.org) which is then reviewed and processed. References are required.
