Name: Tagalong
Animal ID: A844942
Age: 3 years
Weight: 80.50 lbs.
About: If you’re a fan of Girl Scout cookies, you know nothing beats a Tagalong! Ok, ok- we know Thin Mints are popular, but they definitely take a back seat- especially to this sweet pup!! Tagalong is a handsome 3-year-old black and white Pit Bull mix with a reputation as a big, lovable boy with a heart of gold.
Tagalong lived in a home for about a year and half before being surrendered to the shelter. He reportedly did well with another resident dog and with kids (though he may do best in a home with older kiddos). Here’s what volunteers at the shelter have said:
“Tagalong is a big sweetie! He was nervous when we first met him at his kennel but was easy to leash up. Once we got to the play yard he wandered around and kept to himself for the first few minutes, but then backed his butt up to me as I was petting his kennelmate, which I took us an invitation to scratch. After that, we quickly became BFFs. Treats helped! He was snuggly, affectionate, and wanted to be by my side for much of the rest of our time in the yard. He just needs his people to take it slow and take his lead. Good boy!”
“Tagalong was easy to leash and leave the kennel area with. He walked well, didn’t pull much, and was very independent on our walk. I stopped out by the park and knelt down to his level. I gave him some soft, calm butt scratches that he seemed very content about, while watching what was happening in the park. The rest of our walk was nice, he is a calm boy.”
“Tagalong is as sweet as the cookies. We took him and his kennelmate to a yard a few times and he was friendly. Easy to leash, attentive on our short walk to the yard, and he enjoyed cuddling. He’s a chill guy and will make a great family member.”
Despite some challenging experiences, including two minor bite incidents while in the shelter, Tagalong has shown remarkable progress and is ready to find his forever home. Tagalong's journey so far in life has not been an easy one. He was initially surrendered to the shelter for containment issues and having too many pets in the home, and then later found himself back as a stray. These experiences, coupled with potential under socialization, have contributed to his nervous behavior, particularly when it comes to new people and handling. However, with consistent positive reinforcement and patience, Tagalong has made significant strides.
In the shelter environment, Tagalong has blossomed with the help of dedicated volunteers. He has learned to trust people, especially those who take the time to build a bond with him. He enjoys playing with other dogs and has improved his social skills.
While Tagalong is a sweet and gentle dog, he will need a patient and understanding owner who can provide him with a calm and stable environment. He will require a secure yard to prevent him from escaping and plenty of opportunities for exercise and socialization. With the right guidance and love, Tagalong can become a wonderful and loyal companion.
Adoption Process:
Interested parties:
• Must visit PACC before 5:00 PM, November 6, 2024, deadline to meet with an adoption or foster counselor who will go over notes and then introduce you to ensure that it’s a good fit.
