About TAZ

Adoption Fee: $280.00
Italian Greyhound / Jack Russell
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

Truly the sweetheart of the day -- Taz is about 8 years old. Due to extreme hardship on his parents who had to leave the state and couldn't afford to care for him, they asked for help in finding him a most incredible home where he could get the care and love that he deserves. When picking him up from his home, his mommy and daddy cried and cried as they waved good-bye and sent him with his favorite blanket. I promised we'd find just the right spot for him. It's been almost two months now and Taz is ready to find his forever home. Taz has an easily managed digestive situation that calls for special food that is a dehydrated turkey formula that you mix with water and there's his special meal. He also likes a little ground cooked turkey added, and his mama used to add some scrambled egg as an occasional treat. This is the ONLY food that Taz can eat (along with special dedicated treats). What this means is that if you have toddlers, or kids, or even seniors who might drop food or who would want to give him snacks, it is not a good fit. It means if you have other dogs who you free feed and Taz would have access to the food, even accidentally, it is not a good fit. That said, he gets along nicely with other mild and friendly dogs. And he LOVES CATS. So, if you keep your kitty's food up high, and feed your dog only at meal time, and everyone in your home is of a good age to abide by his strict diet and no unapproved snacks or cheating, then yes! Taz is a warm and loving dog -- likes to be close to his people. Really enjoys going for walks when weather permits. He's housebroken and polite. He's adorably playful and will sit and hi-five wave his arms to reach for you. He's so, so charming! (and let's not forget to mention he's super cute and has the most warm and loving eyes!) This little delight will do best in an adult home -- or if kids are in the home they should be at least 10 years old and on the mild side. A lot of activity or rowdy kid play will scare him so if your kids have kids that come over and do typical kid play, this would not be a good fit. Lastly, he REALLY likes to be around his people and we promised his mama that we'd try to find a home for him with someone perhaps retired or who works from home, that kind of situation. His heart has been terribly broken by losing the only home he's known in his life so we want the tip-top best for him, loads of love, and lots of attention. And a kitty if possible :) Meet TAZ on Sunday at PetSmart 10030 N 90th Street, Scottsdale 11am-2pm Adoption fee is $280. Taz is neutered, vaccinated, vet checked, microchipped, and just had a complete dental -- teeth cleaned and 14 extractions. He'll do fine with his diminished tooth count as his special food is soft. You may email to request an adoption application as well.
