Description

COURTESY POST: IMMEDIATE EUTHANASIA RISK URGENT COMMITTED ADOPTER NEEDED BY MAY 29 Animal Profile: Taz is an almost 9-year-old overweight (70 lbs should be 50 lbs) and arthritic Plott Hound mix who is pretty low key and chill. He is house-trained, crate-trained, and not too bad on leash. He is very interested in other dogs and likes to be outside and use his nose. He likes to be with his person but isn't a gregarious or cuddly dog. He is losing his home after many years because he does not appreciate petting and attention from many people in his busy home, particularly a young girl. Taz has a bite history (full details and photos available upon request) and is not a candidate for DGS program due to age and behavior history.  Taz's ideal home would include one or more other dogs (he loves to play and interact with other dogs but unfortunately hasn't had any dog social experiences in years) as well as one or two humans. Honestly, a low-key situation where he can just hang out, play with some dogs, get fed, lay by his humans feet, and some joint supplements is just what this boy needs.  Adoption Info: Taz is neutered, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. He is obese and will need to be put on a diet to address his osteoarthritis. He is not currently on any medication.  Apply Online: www.doggoneseattle.org/adoption-application Animal History: Taz was transferred from Gulf Coast Humane Society in Corpus Christi TX and fostered in Seattle, adopted in January 2023. He is scheduled for euthanasia with his family May 29, 2026 due to aggressive incidents with multiple family members in the home. For example, Taz has bit a child in the face (Level 2 bite, no medical care required) after being hugged/pet while sleeping on his dog bed. Full bite history details including photos available upon request.
