PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING!   Taz is a 4-year-old, 8 lb little guy who was transferred to PRC from another shelter due to concerns with handling and stress. Despite everything he’s been through, when he’s given time, space, patience, and trust, Taz shows who he truly is — a sweet, playful, affectionate boy with a heart that wants to connect. When he feels safe, Taz: Wags his tail Does zoomies Rolls on his back Solicits gentle attention Play bows Settles calmly near people he trusts He gently paws for comfort, quietly whimpers for reassurance, and truly wants to bond. But life hasn’t always been kind to him. Taz struggles when he feels pressured, restrained, or overwhelmed. Leashing and certain kinds of touch are still hard for him, and when he gets scared, he may react defensively to protect himself. With calm, low-pressure handling, predictable routines, and understanding — he does beautifully. He even tolerated sedation for grooming with no reaction when handled correctly. Taz doesn’t need punishment. Taz doesn’t need someone to “fix” him. Taz needs someone to understand him. He needs an adopter who: Is experienced with behaviorally sensitive dogs Can provide a quiet, decompression-focused environment Can go slow and let him build trust at his pace Is willing to work with behavior guidance and support Taz needs us now more than ever. He deserves safety. He deserves kindness. He deserves a chance. If you believe in giving dogs like Taz the love and patience they’ve always deserved, please reach out. He is counting on us. Adoption FEE: $500 which includes his neuter, microchip, and vaccines. It is also a donation to go directly back to us to help us continue to rescue more animals.
