Tag is one of those dogs that people would often stop and notice because of his handsome features but never consider to buy, the reason why is beyond most of us.
Tag has not had the kindest of lives before being bought to the APS, and this contributes into his sometimes not so pleasing kennel demeanour, but spend more than a few seconds looking past his cage and you will see that so much of his personality is hidden due to insecurity and fear.
Once you gain his trust, he comes out of his shell and is an adoring energetic dog. He wags what is left of his severely docked tail at you and beams at you with the warmest smile that begs you to play with him or sit down and give him a cuddle.
Tag is one of those dogs that is typical of a working dog in a suburban environment, with not enough space to run. He has a lot of love to give and a lot of energy to share, but he needs a special person to share it, one that is gentle, patient and calm but firm in their requirements. Tag is a dog that needs training boundaries because that is what makes him feel secure.
Tag has been with us for a long time, he is the longest canine resident we have at the present moment. He is in desperate need of a home and someone to spend the time with him to build up his confidence and trust. We know that person will be greatly surprised how loyal and loving this little guy can be. Please give him a chance.
