🤍 Meet Taz – he arrived at MCACC back on July 6th, which means he’s sadly passed the 60-day mark. Taz hasn’t been given a deadline yet, but county has had to start giving deadlines for length of stay. 💔
When I first met him, he was tucked away in the K wing—a quiet, forgotten spot where hardly anyone looks. I took him on a Tails Around Town adventure, and his whole world lit up. He hopped into the car like he’d been waiting forever for that chance, and sat gazing out the window with the sweetest expression—just soaking up freedom. 🐾
This little 40lb cutie walks beautifully on leash, no pulling, just happy to be by your side. We even stopped for a much-needed bath. His coffee-colored rinse water told the story of shelter life, and underneath it all was a soft, snowy coat just waiting to shine again. ✨
Taz isn’t about treats or toys—what he wants most is time with you. He loves sitting close, strolling calmly through the park, and watching the world go by with his person. And when it was time to go back to his kennel? That one broke me. Most dogs walk back willingly. Taz hesitated, wanting to stay. 💔
He may have a mini husky look, but not the husky-level chaos—just a gentle, loyal soul longing for home.
Taz will leave the shelter neutered, microchipped, and ready to be your best friend (likely with a little goodie bag too 😉). What he needs most isn’t stuff—it’s someone to love him forever.
👉 Please share Taz’s story so he doesn’t get overlooked again. Or even better—come meet him and see for yourself what a gem he is.
