My littermates and I came to SPCA as tiny neonates and were lovingly bottle-fed. Now we're ready to find homes of our own! Hi, I'm Taro! 🌱 I'm a lovely little pup with the whole world ahead of me. I had a helping hand from humans right from the very beginning, and now I'm ready to start my next adventure with a family who will love me as much as I'll love them! Being a young puppy means I still have lots to learn. I'll need a family committed to helping me navigate the world, teaching me good habits and giving me the time and encouragement I need to grow into a confident adult dog. A friendly resident dog would be absolutely wonderful for me. Having a canine companion to learn from and follow could help make my transition into a new home that little bit easier. I could also suit a family with dog-savvy children who understand puppy boundaries, gentle handling and teething. Confident cats may be possible with careful introductions. Puppy school is a must for me! It will be a great opportunity to learn important manners, build confidence and make positive associations with new experiences. I'll also need a securely fenced yard to keep me safe while I play and explore. Could you be the family to help me grow into the very best version of myself? I'd love to meet you! 🐶
