Taz is a delightful, gentle and friendly Boxer Cross aged 10 whom the Mayhew Animal Home in London has had the pleasure to care for over the last 2 months. Despite everything that she has been through after arriving in Mayhew and 2 major operations, she has been full of spirit and the easiest dog to look after.
Gorgeous Taz is a fun-loving girl who melts the hearts of everyone she meets. She enjoys going on outdoor, sniffing adventures and is very social with other dogs but can be a bit enthusiastic for some, so she will need an owner that will continue with her training and provide her with guidance where needed.
Despite her age, Taz is still very playful and loves a good game with her toys! She also enjoys snuggling up on the sofa with her people. This extremely lovable girl cannot wait to find her forever home and will make the most rewarding and affectionate companion for the right match.
Taz can live in a flat as long as there is access to a garden/outside space. She could live with dog-savvy, secondary age children, providing they will give her space when needed and won’t be intimidated by her bouncy nature at times. She could potentially live with a calm, well-adjusted, adult dog, subject to a successful meet at Mayhew.
Taz has grown in confidence in her time with her carers. She loves her walks and meeting other dogs is certainly the highlight of her outings. She generally wants to greet every dog she sees and loves to chase those who engage with her. However, she is learning to recognize when other dogs don’t want to interact and to walk away.
Taz has recently discovered football and will chase and dribble before eventually puncturing the ball with alacrity. She likes playing tug and will bring you her toy when she wants to play. People are amazed she is senior given her curiosity with the world, enthusiasm and high-spiritedness.
Anyone who meets her will comment on how gentle Taz is. She will tolerate lots of strokes and cuddles and seems to enjoy the affection even if she doesn’t come asking for it. Taz seems to be grateful for everything she has; she is not a dog that takes anything for granted. She is a perfect companion to have and would enjoy a doggie playmate in her home.
Taz has had a a cyst removed from her shoulder and mass removed from her gum, these were both found to be benign (non-cancerous). She was unfortunately found to have malignant (cancerous) mammary tumours. which were completely removed with clear, surgical margins and no evidence of spread to the lymph nodes or other areas.
Since surgery, Taz has recovered very well and has continued to gain weight, remain bright, and thrive. Although the surgery has addressed all known disease, her new owner will need to monitor her for development of any new lumps and ensure she is seen by her private vet when needed.
Taz has been microchipped, neutered and vaccinated and is up-to-date with flea/worming treatment. She has also been health checked and behaviourally assessed. Taz will go home with 4 weeks’ free pet insurance.
