Story
Taz is one of our Looney Tunes pups and he is one of the biggest out of 8. He loves to be cuddled and get belly rubs and he’s always super curious and ready for an adventure! He’s got a little bit of a prey drive so we wouldn’t suggest a home with cats! He’s been with us since before his eyes were opened and all of his siblings except one have been adopted. He’s ready for his forever home

Story
petey is a gentle giant with an endearing personality. He does a happy dance when he’s waiting for his food. He has manners and is for the most part quiet but he has a rambunctious side that tends to come out around other dogs and he becomes very playful. He’s also quite the baby. We do not think he’s ever been inside until now as he was scared of flooring changes, ceiling fans, toilets and doors but he has adjusted well. He’s a little hesitant about car rides but if you have treats and love to give he’ll do anything for you ❤️
