Taz — The Calm, Cuddly Terrier Everyone Loves - Border Terrier and Cairn Terrier Dog for Adoption in Houston, Texas

NOTE: THIS IS AN "OUT OF TOWN PET" - that means he is not at this location but we do have transport here - more about transport below. Our Rescue is Houston based (https://www.facebook.com/TwilightTailsRescue) and all our fosters and Rescue Ranch are in and around Houston.

Meet Taz:

Taz is an 11lbs, 1–2 year-old Border Terrier mix (with maybe a touch of Cairn Terrier) who’s the total package: friendly, easygoing, affectionate, and wonderfully well-mannered. He’s the kind of dog who wins people over instantly.

This little guy is awesome with everyone — adults, kids, new people on walks — greeting the world with a gentle tail wag and a soft, curious expression. He loves being held, walks beautifully on leash, and has a fun, playful side without ever tipping into chaos. For a terrier, he’s impressively calm and centered.

Taz is housetrained if kept on a schedule, crate-trained, and hardly barks. He’s simply a joy to have around — the kind of dog who makes life lighter just by being in it.

Taz would thrive in almost any home that wants a small companion with a big heart. Whether you’re looking for a snuggly lap buddy, a cheerful walking partner, or a quiet, steady presence in your day, Taz is ready to be that dog.

If you’re searching for an easy, lovable, terriertype companion, Taz is your boy.

Understanding transport: Once everything is all approved, dogs are scheduled on transport using AJC Rescue & Transport (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083418067425). Transport means dogs are carefully and thoughtfully moved via scheduled air conditioned/heated vans from our doggy ranch in Fulshear, TX to a location near you. Each transport consists of a team of two drivers who can alternate. This is how we communicate in real time. The driver who is not driving, will be updating the group chat. You will be included in this group chat to track your dog through transport. You will also be given exact location and scheduled time of arrival. Our drivers do everything possible to run on-time however, things such as traffic, weather etc. can affect arrival time. You will updated regarding delays or possible early arrival. Keep in mind, dogs on transport stop for bathroom, walk and food breaks. For safety, all dogs are crated during transport.

We use what we think is the best dog transport service in the region and have for years - Andrea and her crew really offer first class transport!

These energetic and intelligent dogs excel in various canine activities, including agility and obedience. Their friendly and playful demeanor makes them wonderful companions for active families, especially those who enjoy outdoor adventures with their loyal four legged friends.

The Cairn Terrier is a small, sturdy breed known for its lively and intelligent temperament. Originating from Scotland, these dogs are recognized for their shaggy, weather resistant double coat, often found in shades of cream, wheaten, grey, or red.

Their playful nature and love for adventure highlight their loyal and spirited personality, making them a beloved breed for both home and show settings.
