In the shelter’s words

Some are spicy, others are mild and some fall right in between. We are talking about tacos here and although they are not known to be sweet, we beg to differ with our 2-year-old Chihuahua mix, Taco. Taco found his way into rescue when he was picked up as a stray, so his past is a mystery, but we know this boy has a dynamite personality packed into his 11-pound body. He is a young boy of around 2 years old with lots of years ahead of him. Taco is eager to make friends with any dog or child he meets. He is a happy go lucky boy that enjoys time with others. He has not met a cat since coming into rescue. Taco likes to spend his time doing just about anything fun followed by rest and relaxation. He is on ready, set go status for fun games, time spent outside, going for walks as the sky is the limit with this boy. He is a perfect lap companion size so get ready to relax with your best bud nestling in for a snooze. Taco has started his house, crate and leash training. Accomplishing all three skills is what he has set out to do. All he needs is the commitment from his family to assist him and he is sure to succeed.Happy days are in the future when Taco is around. If you are looking for a fun and joyous companion to join your family, Taco is just an application away. * When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Taco is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.
