Taylor Tot

My story

Come meet me during our events Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM - 4 PM at the Homeward Trails Manny Law Adoption Center, 11116 Fairfax Station Rd, Fairfax Station, VA. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out our dog adoption questionnaire and e-mail any questions to: adoptioncenter@homewardtrails.org PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ LOCATION: Adoption Center ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Adoption Center ADOPTION FEE: WAIVED! I'M PART OF THE REWARDS PROGRAM AND MY ADOPTION FEE IS WAIVED. WE WILL ALSO PAY MY FOSTER OR ADOPTER $500. ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 60-70 lbs KNOWN WITH DOGS: Taylor enjoyed having a medium to large playmate to keep him company in a previous foster home. He does not require another dog but does need exercise and stimulation to stay busy when he's not snoozing. KNOWN WITH CATS: Not the best with cats. Just wants to play and barks a lot :) KNOWN WITH KIDS: Taylor would prefer to be the the only kiddo in your home! KNOWN CUES: He knows to sit, stay, lay down, and is learning touch (come), leave it, drop it, and a place cue. He walks great on the leash and is very food-motivated which has made training pretty easy. KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: He is house-trained! He's learned to be comfortable in his crate after some initial anxiety, but he's equally happy to free-roam in your house when you're away. KNOWN LIKES: Food, cuddling, people who move at his speed. KNOWN DISLIKES: Taylor can be nervous around new people and prefers friends who move slowly with him and recognize signs of discomfort. ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: HT has a number of dogs that need very special homes. These dogs have been failed by humans along the way, leaving them homeless and with issues from their treatment. We'll be honest. Some of them are real jerks. But not always. And not to everyone. Not everyone can be charming ALL the time, right? Others are just fearful and don't like other animals because they have had a bad interaction at some point. Some of them love other dogs but are just plain scared of everything. But all of them are good on the inside. And we believe that ALL of them deserve a chance at life and love. And we're looking to find the right human out there to make that happen. But competition is tough. And they're up against small, well-behaved doggies...so we are offering incentives for special humans willing to give these pooches a chance. WE WANT YOU! ***We are paying $500 to any approved foster or adopter of our REWARDS dogs.*** The human will also get ongoing training support, all supplies covered and a $25 Amazon gift card each month for 6 months. You will learn and grow. You will be doing a world of good for a dog who has really had it rough in life. Adoption Center staff considered naming him "Bear," because once he knows and trusts you, Taylor is just like a big teddy bear. When he tells you he's ready, he LOVES being pet, but is also happy to show off his many skills and sometimes play with toys. Treats are a BIG DEAL to Taylor and are a great way to win your way into his heart and get him using his brain. He's very polite on-leash, loving the opportunity to sniff but not pulling too much (unless he's sees a squirrel - ooops!). He also enjoys car rides and can be found with his head sticking out the window, taking in the breeze. Taylor would prefer to be in a quiet, kid-free home without a lot of foot traffic or hustle and bustle, so he can bask in even more of your love and attention.
