taz

Taz has a can’t-stop-me attitude in a small body. She was rescued from a hoarding case of over 20 dogs, so she didn’t get a lot of individual attention. She spent some time at the Las Vegas NM shelter waiting for the hoarding legal issues to be resolved. All the while, her back legs are misshapen due to luxating patellas (kneecaps). But that does not discourage Taz. She can keep up with the big dogs on walks or a game of fetch.

When Taz got to her foster home, she was a wild child. She didn’t know the enjoyment of being touched or taken for walks. But she has discovered the luxuries of pet life and is now enjoying pets, riding in a backpack on longer walks, riding in the car, and a nice soft place to sleep.

Taz is undergoing surgery in late March to move her kneecaps back where they should be. She has no pain now, but as she ages, leaving her knees as they are may cause arthritis later in life. Her foster mom will help her recover, unless an adoptive home comes along that is willing to help her after surgery. Taz will be recovered to enjoy life with straight legs around mid-May.

If you're interested in meeting Taz, come to our adoption event on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month from 11am-2pm, located at 6300 San Mateo NE in the south Sprouts parking lot.
