Story
Taurus is a 2 year old, 17 pound, neutered male Chihuahua/Min Pin/Yorkie mix (DNA tested).
Taurus is a fun guy who may take his time to get to know you. He will then want to be your friend, go for walks with you, zoom around the yard whenever possible, perch high on a couch pillow while you watch TV or work on the computer & sleep in your bed (under the covers much of the time).
Taurus is cautious when meeting new people. Taurus would love bonding & learning with his best friend while taking training classes.
Our limited experience observing Taurus’s reaction to small children, & how quickly he will dart through an open door, leads us to recommend a household without younger children.
Not a requirement, Taurus would consider a canine playmate a plus. He likes all the dogs he has met.
A small dog secure FENCED yard is a virtual must. Quick Taurus loves to roam & survey his domain. His preferred activity level is higher than average.
Taurus is housetrained, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and up to date on heartworm, flea & tick preventatives.
Our vet’s exam showed Taurus to be about 2 years old & in excellent health. Taurus may not be a health food nut, but he considers carrots, cauliflower & broccoli as good as any of the treats he has been offered.
Taurus's adoption fee is $500.
