About Taz

Taz has seen a lot in her three years, but that doesn’t stop her from making the most of it.  She was rescued from a hoarding case involving over 20 dogs, so she didn’t get much individual attention.  She spent some time at the Las Vegas NM shelter while the hoarding-related legal issues were being resolved.  All the while, her back legs are misshapen due to luxating patellas (kneecaps).  But that dis not discourage Taz.  She could keep up with the big dogs on walks or a game of fetch.

Taz is underwent surgery in late March to move her kneecaps back where they should be.  The results of the surgery are miraculous.  Taz now has straight legs and can play bow, stretch, and walk like a normal dog. The vet staff commented on how well Taz tolerated her handling during the procedure. Taz is recuperating quickly and will be off restricted activity Mid-May.  She is waiting patiently to be free of a leash so she can go on longer walks and play.  See her before and after pics in the listing.

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, going for walks, riding in the car, and having a nice soft place to sleep. She also loves her doggie friends, wagging her tail and wiggling when she greets them.

Taz is crate-trained and house-trained. If you play fetch with her, she will thank you.
