Hi, my name is Taco, and I am a 6 year old, 9 lb male chihuahua mix. I came into rescue as a stray and the local shelter called SBRET to help me. My skin was a bit of a mess at that time but after receiving help and advice from The Itch Clinic, I am much happier with some affordable allergy food and a Cytapoint shot every 3 months. 

I am a people loving boy. I will do my best to keep other dogs away from us. Seriously, I don’t like other dogs. I’m no fan of cats either. And while I’m at it, skip the kids as well. No wiggle room on this. 🙂

My best day is a long, active walk and then some cuddling on the couch.  After lunch we could have a potty break (I’m rock solid in this department!), play with my toys and then maybe a car trip around town. Doesn’t that sound like a cool day to you?! 

I’d like a real dog walker by the way. Someone strong enough to keep me close in case we see a dreaded dog along the way.

For being such a people loving dog, I am remarkably slow to warm up to new people. I am so worried and anxious that it could take 3-4 days for me to relax in a new home. I come with a set of instructions from my foster parents on how to care for me during this time. But, it never fails, the lightbulb goes on and it’s all love and snuggles!! 

Taco is neutered, microchipped, current on vaccines and on heartworm and flea prevention. Taco’s adoption fee is $175.
