We’ve got a new adoptable, so let’s TACO ‘bout it. You already guessed his name, but did you guess that he’s a sweet and sensitive soul? This leads us to a few conclusions, the first being that practicing calmness helps him focus. The second is that he’d enjoy the predictability that a home with no young kids offers. The last being that he’ll live his best scruff life when meeting other dogs slowly with proper intros. Shell yeah!
If you don’t love TACO(s), well, he’s nacho type. This certainly isn’t the case for TACO’s foster parents, though. As the third foster dog they’ve had in their care, they enjoy TACO’s enthusiasm for cuddles and ability to quickly pick up new cues in training. He also develops a close bond with his humans, and, to that, all we can say is TACO ‘bout awesome! Having his people to himself is his preference, but know that his neediness for attention means boundaries and structure are necessary.
Developing confidence in foster care is what is enabling TACO to build trust in his humans while out and about on walks (or hikes, which he quite likes!) and exploring new places. TACO ‘bout a good time. This clear communication between him and his foster parents is what’s made the adjustment period of living in a new home easier. Lately, TACO has been working on his vocal tendencies. He responds well to correction, and it now doesn’t take him long to settle in his crate.
TACO has experienced living with his foster fam’s resident dog, and after a slow and steady intro and time to warm up to living with her, now enjoys initiating play. Seven days without TACO(s) makes one weak. Apply to adopt this one and live like every day is TACO Tuesday!
