Taz

My story

**Meet Taz – The Chonky, Bossy, Blind Wonder You Never Knew You Needed** At 9 years old, Taz is a one-of-a-kind cocker mix with a belly that skims the earth and a personality that fills the room. (We suspect there’s a bit of dachshund in there—his lowrider status suggests it, and frankly, he rocks it.) Taz came to us as an owner surrender in rougher shape—sick to the point of not only needing some dental extractions, but also needing both eyes removed, and then battled a prolonged healing period. But this little dude wasn’t about to quit. Against all odds, he pulled through. And the best part? He never once lost his sunny, sweet, slightly sassy demeanor. He is house-trained, listens to basic commands, and gets around just fine using his nose, his feet, and a bit of trial and error. (He learns fast—especially where the snack stash is😅) Taz has a deep *love* for cats. Specifically, the chase. But don’t worry—he’s blind. They always win. And after a while he doesn’t even try anymore. He'd thrive as the only dog or with a chill, larger dog who’s okay with a tiny boss in the house. Because yes, he *will* try to run the place. And honestly? He’s earned it! No pools or open water, please—his navigation is impressive, but not perfect! Oh, and he loves going on walks. But needs you to direct him around obstacles. In all our years of fostering, Taz is one of the most resilient dogs we've ever come across. He’s funny, stubborn, affectionate, and full of life. He deserves to spend his golden years spoiled, safe, and surrounded by love. Ready to give this blind trooper the retirement he deserves? Taz is waiting.
