Meet TACO, a wonderful little
Chihuahua mix whose previous
owner passed away. This little
guy becomes very attached to
his humans, but is also very shy
at fi rst. He’ll need time, patience,
and love before he feels part
of his new family. Taco is also
shy around new dogs, so if you
already have a friendly pooch in
the home, a meet-and-greet will
be required before adoption.
