Story
We have had Eddie for almost 2 years, since he was about 6 months old. He’s full of energy and loves to play with his toys. He’s a world class athlete. Loves to snuggle and burrows under the covers. He has his own blankets he loves to drag around the house with him. He’s very sweet and loving. He needs to be the only dog in the house. He has lived with another dog but has increasingly become aggressive with him as he is very jealous and needs all of the attention. He is potty trained and crate trained.

Story
Say "How-DEE" to our very own Minnie Pearl! This sweet little lady needs some work on her confidence as she is very unsure of her surroundings and spends her time during interactions focused on what's happening around her. She takes a minute to warm up but you can tell she wants to be around people based on her adorable little tail wags! Once she easily succeeds in getting your attention, she can be a little unsure of what to do. Loud noises and fast movements are a lot for her to process so her ideal environment would not include small children; cats she doesn't seem to mind. She enjoys exploring on her walks and with some patience we're confident she will open up!Pettango Adoption Fee: $100Estimated Date of Birth: UnknownIntake Reason: Transfer - Came on Transport - original intake unknownAnimal will be spayed and up to date on vaccines, and microchipped prior to adoption. If their kennel card on display at TAPS shelter facility is marked as unaltered, the animal will be altered prior to being released for adoption. Animal stage may change from time to time based on surgery and medical status. TAPS strives to keep kennel cards as up to date as possible with current information but from time to time, information may change and a new kennel card may be pending. Full and current vaccination schedule and medical records along with any behavioral disclosures will be provided at time of adoption.
