Taz's Story
Taz is a super handsome fella with piercing blue eyes! Taz is housetrained and loves his food. Taz would enjoy enrichment activities and lots of positive reinforcement, in fact he’d be a perfect candidate for agility training or nose work, something that could also help Taz and his new family build a fabulous bond!
Taz’s forever home would preferably be with a patient, more experienced adopter who can help him ease into family life at his own pace, as Taz can be a little anxious in new situations and with new people. Taz can live with other dogs; the right calm and confident doggy sibling might be just what Taz needs to help him transition into his new home successfully. Taz would also thrive with a more structured approach to his new home life; fortunately, Taz is very treat-motivated and a quick learner, he’ll happily take instruction if the treats keep coming!
Are you the family for Taz? If you’ve had some experience with shy or fearful dogs and can be patient and understanding while Taz settles into your home, come and check out this gorgeous boy! And remember, treats are the sure way to Taz’s heart!

If you’re interested in adopting this pet, please complete the following steps:
1. Start by taking our ComPETibility Quiz to make sure they’re a good fit for your home. Your ComPETibility Score will help you compare your home to each pet’s needs!
2. After completing your ComPETibility Quiz, you will be emailed a link to complete your Adoption Application.

Please note that while we can’t place holds on adoptable animals for your scheduled appointment, there are always plenty of homeless pets looking for a home! If you don’t meet the perfect pet, please feel free to complete a new Adoption Inquiry Form or visit our Adoption Center. Walk-ins are always welcome, but appointments are recommended for a more efficient visit!

Why Adopt?
Adoption is one of the best ways to save a life. Only a few thousand more adoptions each year in Chicago, a city of millions of people, and we will be a No Kill community! You can make a real difference.
At PAWS Chicago, we keep working to grow our operations to save more homeless pets. It's how we've gone from saving a few dozen to 5,000 pets a year. But it is our adopters who make the real magic happen by bringing these loving pets home. Adopt a pet and spread the word!
First Time Fostering? Learn More
There are many animals that need us today. Each foster family allow us to save more homeless pets by opening their home to a pet or litter in need of love and care for a few weeks. When we are able to send a pet or litter to foster, it frees up space in our Medical Center to bring in more pets in need.
Last year, our foster families took in 1,921 pets. Some needed a peaceful place to recover from illness or injury. Puppies and kittens just needed a bit of time in a home environment with good socialization so they could grow big enough to have their spay/neuter surgery before adoption. Other pets needed a calm and relaxing break from the stress of shelter life.
