Date into Rescue: 07/19/2025
Reason for being in rescue: Born into rescue
Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC
Special Needs? Taco is up to date on vaccines for his age. Taco's mom Gigi is a tan & white chihuahua. We believe his dad is either a terrier or chinese crested that lived in the same area at the home.
Weight: We expect Taco will be between 10-15 lbs when full grown
Height: We expect Taco will be 8 inches when full grown
Spayed/Neutered: No. Taco is too young to be neutered. He will be adopted on a spay/neuter addendum that requires you to neuter him at your cost within 9 months and provide proof of neuter.
Adoption Fee: $200
Fence needed? No
What kind of home would be best for me? Puppies need canine friends. Taco's ideal home has another young dog for play and socialization. If you don't have another dog, you must be able to describe a plan for regular (at least 4 times/week) play and socialization with other dogs. A person scheduled away from home for no more than 4 hours per day and can provide multiple potty breaks throughout the day and night is a must. He is a baby and needs play breaks as well as frequent and consistent potty times to aid in potty training.
What is my personality like? Taco - tiny but mighty, thinks he's a Doberman. He loves to get on the bed when his foster brother jack the Doberman is on the bed, he runs under Jacks' chin and gives him a nibble, then runs back to foster mom like home base! Taco is wide open. He needs buddies and needs an active life. Taco is the leader of the pack.
PUPPY POLICY:
Thank you for carefully considering the addition of a puppy to your family. Puppies can be a joyous experience, but they can also be a tremendous amount of work. Since our goal is to place each of our dogs in forever homes, we are especially cautious with puppies. We like to stress 3 major things when considering a puppy vs. an adult dog: 1) many adult dogs are well bred, well trained dogs who find themselves in rescue through no fault of their own, 2) adult dogs are eager to share their love and bond with their new family, and 3) puppies will always require far more time, energy, and training than an adult dog.
Our ideal puppy adopters are:
-experienced dog owners with a solid record of excellent vet care of their previous pets
-scheduled away from home for no more than 4 hours per day and have another canine companion already in the home
-stay at home type of people (work at home, home schoolers, retired, etc)
How do I act when I first meet new people? Taco is a friendly, active puppy.
Other tips and tidbits: Taco was born 07/19/2025
House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained. A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
