Meet Tavish!
The teenage Pyr mix who is 50% shy wallflower, 50% chaos gremlin, and 100% “I’m trying my best, okay?”
At 10 months old, Tavish is deep in his Awkward Era. His legs are too long, his confidence is too short, and his social skills are… let’s call them “under construction.” He wants to play with other dogs so badly, but his current technique is a mix of enthusiastic flailing and interpretive dance. Luckily, he’s good with dogs who don’t mind mentoring a well meaning goofball.
Cats? Tavish is curious, but in the same way someone might be curious about a mysterious glowing button. He’s not sure if they’re safe, magical, or plotting something. He’s polite about it, though.
What Tavish needs most is life experience — walks, adventures, patient humans, and maybe a dog friend who can teach him that zoomies are not a full contact sport. Underneath the bashful exterior is a sweet, eager puppy who desperately wants to get it right. He just needs someone to help him turn his teenage awkwardness into adult excellence.
If you’ve ever loved an underdog, a late bloomer, or a kid who grew into their limbs eventually, Tavish is your guy.

All known information about an individual dog is provided in its listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters should understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be.
Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for 1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only hold it for one hour per month of age (i.e. a 4-month-old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break). 2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise. 3.) Socialization. The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home. 4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well-adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded ten-fold, for years to come. Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy. Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time-consuming and can be expensive. All dogs require supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well-socialized dog is more than worth the effort to get them there.
