THIS PUP IS NO COUCH POTATO.  Tato is an active, energetic 3-year-old terrier mix who sticks to his person like a shadow. He is a ball fanatic and comes with his very own ball shooter for hours of fun. An individual or family dedicated to playing ball frequently is a "must" for this fellow. Tato also loves the water. He would be over the moon if his new home had a pool and people to swim with. He's not all action, though. Just watch him relax for a belly rub. This little guy gets along with most people, dogs and cats but he has no experience with young children, so TDR recommends he be adopted by an adult-only household. He is house- leash- and crate trained, and sometimes barks at other dogs when he's being walked, but he's not aggressive. Tato previously enjoyed going to the local dog park. He does well with a harness and is a good hiker and car-riding buddy. Tato grew up in a home with multiple dogs and he prefers to eat his meals by himself. He is neutered, heartworm negative, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations and is receiving flea/tick/heartworm prevention treatment. Available through Tired Dog Rescue, Gulfport, MS. Fee: $175.

We at Tired Dog Rescue strive to find homes for dogs in need, build quality relationships with responsible owners, and preserve current dog-family homes by seeking solutions to financial, behavioral, and situational dog problems. We believe the lives of homeless, abandoned and abused dogs are just as precious as dogs that currently have a loving home. We believe that all dogs deserve a loving home despite their age, medical condition and/or disabilities. We provide whatever medical care is needed regardless of cost. All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and current on vaccinations before being placed.
