My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

TAZ

Male, neutered
9 months old
Pit bull terrier
58 lbs.
Microchipped, up-to-date on core vaccines and takes monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention â€‹
Good with dogs; untested with cats or kids

Taz and his brother, Simba, were confiscated from a neglectful owner when they were only 8 weeks old. They lived in limbo at the shelter for 6 long months until the court case with their owner was settled and they were finally allowed to be released to a rescue, so Lovepaws swooped in to save them. Despite living in shelter conditions for so long and from such a young age, Taz is a resilient, curious and well-adjusted pup.

Taz is a very curious and snuggly guy. He still has puppy energy and is learning about the smells and sounds around him every day. He loves making other dog friends, chasing squirrels, and going on long walks. Inside the house, he's a champion napper who will let you sleep in. He's been great in the car, friendly on restaurant patios and has adjusted quickly to condo living. Ideally, you're never out of his sight, including shower time. He'll sit inside the shower curtain and wonder what the heck you are doing with all that water!

Taz loves long walks and hikes and getting in lots of playtime or working on treat puzzles. He is slowly being introduced to new situations, environments, sights and smells. At the end of the day, he is happiest curled up on the couch next to his people.

More about this rescue

LOVEPAWS was founded as an animal intake prevention program to help keep pets in homes and out of shelters. To do this, we offer various types of assistance to pet owners including our pet food pantry and our re-homing service. We help find new homes for pets whose owners cannot keep them but do not want to surrender their pet to the shelter. While our focus is on Prince George’s County, MD, we offer these services to the entire DC Metro area.

Our scope and mission has grown quickly since we were founded in 2019 and we now pull dogs and cats from open-admission, high-intake shelters in MD, VA and other Southern states. This has expanded our rescue to be able to save dogs and cats of all breeds. Our expanded mission is to save the lives of abandoned dogs and cats and place them in loving and permanent homes. While we are a non-breed-specific rescue, we are a pittie-friendly rescue that has a soft spot for the pit bulls at the Prince George’s County animal shelter. They face the heartbreaking reality of the county’s pit bull ban which makes them unavailable for adoption to the public. We are committed to stepping forward whenever we can and wherever there is the greatest need.

LOVEPAWS is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are an exclusively foster-based rescue with our foster network spanning MD, DC, and VA.
