Tate (Tater Tot)

My story

Tate (a.k.a. Tater Tot or Tater Tot Polka Dot) is an almost 5‑year‑old goldendoodle looking for his perfect new home. He's a big 55 lb fluff ball with long legs who loves to lounge around the house and snuggle on the couch. Tate enjoys playing with other dogs and is very easy to walk, making him a great companion for someone who likes relaxed strolls and a goofy, affectionate buddy. He is house trained and knows most basic commands. Tate does have some quirks that mean he's not the best fit for a home with young children. He can be protective of his food and certain toys, and may growl if approached while eating or if you try to take something from him. He also likes to counter-surf and grab unattended snacks. He has never bitten anyone, but he needs an owner who will respect his boundaries and continue consistent training. Tate would do best with adults or families with older, dog‑savvy kids who understand his behavior and will give him the structure and love he deserves.
