QUICK FACTS: ✔️ Good with other dogs! ✔️ Could be okay for beginner dog owner! 🧸Loves to play 😀Friendly
Taz is a 1 year old mixed breed from Louisiana (LA). She was on the euthanasia list and pulled hours before she was to be put down. Taz was a part of a hoarding case that was brought into the shelter along with Stormy and Luna (adopted). She is not bonded with any of the dogs and can be the only dog in the house. Taz has been in Wisconsin since September 20th.
Taz is a bouncy energetic girl. She lives to play chase or tug with a toy. When she plays with another dog she’ll grab their leg like a chicken wing and hold on until they can get her back. She loves snuggling up next to you but is also ok if another dog pushes their way in. She is currently fostered with three other foster dogs and the resident dog of the house.
Energy Level:
Taz is a medium to medium-high energy level dog. She will also happily go on a 1.25 mile walk in the evening. She’ll also play with the high energy foster brothers a majority of the evening. She is a dog that can take a day off from walking and not be unmanageable. She does not require multiple hours of exercise a night although if she has the chance she’ll keep up just fine.
Training:
Taz is starting to learn basic commands in her foster home such as sit, down, wait, stay, watch, and touch. She comes when her name is called. Taz catches on quickly and doesn’t mind the chaos of multiple dogs around her also learning commands and taking treats. She’s a patient girl and waits her turn.
Taz is great on a leash and has her nose to the ground on a majority of our walks (we walk as a pack). She will pull a bit to go sniff something but she has not done any lunging on the leash and she does not react to other dogs.
Crate Training:
Taz easily goes in a kennel without any fuss, if it’s big enough. She’s a little girl but prefers the 41” kennel compared to the 32” kennel. She likes to spread out and not be cramped. She will either kennel up with her foster sister or by herself. She will do a moany protest whine when she’s settling in that only lasts for about 5 minutes. If she has to go outside while she’s in her kennel you will hear her do that moany whine.
Potty Training:
Taz is working on potty training.
Grooming:
Taz is a short haired dog whose fur is similar to a lab.
Dogs:
Taz does extremely well with other dogs and wants to play with them. She loves everyone in the household and has loved everyone she’s met on a walk. She may be a little standoffish at first but quickly learns that the dog is ok and will try to play. Taz is ok if another dog pushes her out of the way and is not aggressive.
Cats:
Taz lives with 2 cats. She likes to chase and try to play with the cats. The brave cat comes downstairs and sits on the kitchen island and Taz will bounce around trying to play and she’ll even put her paws ont he counter to sniff the cat. If the cat runs and Taz manages to catch up the to cat she will put her paws on the cats back like she captured them. She is not trying to hurt the cats but is just trying to play.
Kids:
Taz has met a teenager and loved meeting him after being standoffish for a minute. She has not met young kids in my presence.
Car Rides:
Tax does ok in the car and needs more practice. She can get car sick if she just ate. Otherwise she does not panic, drool, bark or destroy anything in the car.
This girl has a lot of bouncy spunk and just a joy to have around. She’s kind hearted and loves a good snuggle right by your side.
