Taz

Taz, a handsome 1.5 year old male, was found as a stray in Stockton with multiple wounds and an injury from having a collar embedded in his neck.

He is a very sweet boy but also very timid and showed very poorly in the shelter.

GSRNC brought him into our program to heal and decompress.

Since then, Taz is showing his true colors as a super-affectionate boy who just wants to connect with and please his people.

He is still a bit shy but will warm up quickly to strangers.

Given his previous neck trauma, Taz now sports a harness and enjoys a long morning walk and then just hanging out with his people and his foster-sister.

He walks very lightly on the leash, at your pace with no pulling.

Check out Taz's video on YouTube! Taz is comfortable around all kinds of dogs showing neither aggression nor enthusiasm.

He can entertain himself with stuffed toys but he LOVES his ball and will play fetch with you for as long as you want! No prey drive detected, so he may be okay with cats?

Taz is learning his house manners; a quick "off" when he jumps up to see what is on the counter works.

He is working on sit, down and place.

When given regular opportunities to do his "business" in the backyard, he will empty his bladder every time.

He sleeps soundly in his crate at night for 8 hours.

Super sweet Taz is gaining confidence every day but needs consistency and routine in his immediate world.

In return he will deeply connect to the human who creates that for him.

Taz is being fostered in Pebble Beach and living with a 7-year female GSD.

Watch Taz play with his pals!
