Beautiful Taquito is a small, 50 pound, female, 2-year-old German Shepherd dog who came in to us on March 22nd as a stray from Berrien Center. She was adopted in April – but her owner had health issues that caused him to have to surrender her back to us in August. He told us that she is a fantastic dog, and we agree! She is housetrained, great on a leash, smart and sweet. Taquito has done well with kids, but is not a fan of other dogs, at least in the shelter. We have done a test with our shelter cat; she and they didn’t seem to mind each other very much, so we think she might do well with a slow introduction. German Shepherds tend to struggle in the shelter environment, and you can feel Taquito’s anxiety level rising. She is spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, microchipped and heartworm negative. She is available to adopt for $31 through the end of October. Contact Berrien County Animal Control at 1400 S. Euclid in Benton Harbor, 269-927-5648, to learn more about Taquito.
