Tadashi is a loyal and affectionate pup whose world changed when his longtime family could no longer afford his ongoing medical care. He was surrendered due to chronic skin allergies that require consistent attention, but that hasn’t dimmed his bright spirit or cuddly personality.
💙 Why You’ll Love Tadashi:
- Knows commands like “sit,” “down,” and “cage”
- House trained and trustworthy when left alone
- Quiet in the kennel and well-mannered indoors
- LOVES to run and play outside, especially with tug toys
- Has an adventurous, goofy streak and lots of energy for a senior pup
Tadashi can be sensitive when his skin flares up, and he doesn’t love being handled until he trusts you—but once he does, you’ll have a devoted and loving companion.
🛠️ What He Needs:
- A calm, patient adopter who understands his medical needs
- No other pets in the home (he prefers to be the star!)
- A securely fenced yard (this little guy once crawled under a gate!)
- Someone ready to build trust and offer both space and affection
- Financial ability to manage his chronic skin care needs
Tadashi may be shy at first, but when he opens up, he’s full of spunk and sweetness. He’s been through a lot and deserves a family who’ll cherish him, quirks and all.
📍 Tadashi is currently in the small dog kennel—come meet him today and let him show you his goofy, lovable side!
