Around children he is described as friendly and relaxed, owner stated he played gently with the one year old in the home. Owner stated when he sees another male dog in the street he will bark and attempt to get to the other dog. He lived with anther large breed dog and is described as playful and affectionate towards the other dog in the home. He has not been around cats. Behavior: Taz is not bothered when his food is touched while eating or when a treat or toy is taken away. He enjoys baths but does not like to be brushed and will bite the brush. When held he will wiggle and attempt to lick. When a stranger approaches his home he will bark until the visitor enters the home then owner stated he will run up to the visitor and sniff them. Owner stated he will then jump on them with his tail wagging. Taz does not like hoodies and will bark when he sees anyone wearing a hoodie. For a new family to know: Taz is housetrained and was walked three times a day. Taz will not pull hard on leash and is used to brisk leashed walks. His activity level is described as high and he likes to play with ropes. When home he tends to follow his owner around the home and has been kept only indoors. He eats dry food Blue Buffalo brand and is fed twice a day. His favorite treats are bacon strips. When off leash Taz will stay close to his owners side. He knows the commands sit, stay, and lay down; owner stated he respondes to the physical movements and not the sound of the command. Upon intake Taz was relaxed and had a loose body, he allowed all handling. Counselor was able to collar, scan (negative) and photograph.

02/25/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: He may not be the dog that grabs your attention right away, but he should be. Though Taz is quite cute, with his portly body, bottom row of teeth that often get stuck in his lips and one of the sweetest faces around, his brindle coat and middle age might be cause for him to be overlooked. Surrendered with his pal, Cush, Taz was placed into our care due to a ban on his breed in government housing. He has previously lived with a toddler and played gently with him. Taz is friendly toward strangers (unless they have a hoodie on-he will bark at people in hoodies) and is housebroken. He’s the type of dog that leaves a lasting impression in a short period of time. He eagerly showed me he could “sit,” “stay,” and “lie down” and will work for treats. When I invited him onto the bench with me, he enthusiastically hoisted himself up, ready to chill by my side. If you’re looking for the ideal friend, one with impeccable manners, glowing notes from his previous owner and a personality that garners a smile every time, look no further because Taz is the guy for you!
