Description:

Tacoma is a sweet, gentle, quiet boy looking for a patient home to help him continue to learn, trust and grow! He loves to scoot around on his belly with his tail wagging madly playing with his toys or chewing on a bone. He also LOVES treats and is learning quickly how to walk on a leash. Tacoma likes to cuddle up at bedtime and sleeps good through the night. He is also doing well learning to potty on a schedule but does continue to need training. Although he is small he can hop up on the couch for TV time and the bed for bedtime. He would be fine as an only dog but would like a playmate or dog friend - he is respectful of non-engaging dogs and plays fine by himself. He does well in the car on long rides. He is not a big barker - only barks when something startles/surprises him or when kenneled - he's not a fan and will bark/cry for about 5-10mins until he settles down.

Tacoma is a happy little guy who loves being around people but is still very skiddish and fearful of being picked up. - Once you are holding, him he loves to be petted, but the act of being "reached for" is very scary to him. Because the world is a little scary to him, he is a "flight risk" - he can and will climb/jump/go under baby gates/chain link fences so he needs to be in a very secure fenced area and/or on a leash or tie out with supervision. Due his demeanor and small size he would do best in a calmer, quieter home with no small children. The few extra moments it takes to keep him secure are nothing compared to the love and joy this sweet boy will bring to you!

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.
