K3 Taro, Beagle cross

[Baglady]

Be still my beating heart  [img style="max-width:100%;" src="



This handsome young beagle cross is Taro! He's just two years old, he has been signed over to the Dogs Home by his owners.
Taro - are you poking out your tongue? 



Taro is young, lively and energetic, and he's got a beagle nose and lurcher legs and stamina!
Couch potatoes need not apply!





Taro is fully vaccinated, so he's already on the walkers list! Pilgrims - no fighting over the pretty boy please! 



But he's very focussed on people, especially when there are treats around! Taro doesn't seem to have great food manners, so walkers, no treats please! Taro will be interrogating your pockets for the good stuff!



Yup - Taro's houndy nose could smell a bit of pate from the next county!



As Taro has been signed over, he is available for rehoming immediately.



if you would like more information, or would like to meet him, please phone the Dogs' Home: 029 2071 1243 or visit Cardiff Dogs' Home, Westpoint Industrial Estate, Penarth Road, open 7 days a week, 10.30 - 4pm.

I had a lovely walk with Taro this morning.  He is very bouncy but as he is light isn't too heavy when pulling on the lead.  He occasionally caught a scent and would have followed this wherever it led but was easily brought back.  Stopped for a few cuddles along the way and he does a lovely sit.
Lovely little pup

I have walked this lovely boy 3 or 4 times now and he is just such an affectionate dog. This morning it was sunny so we sat awhile on the church bench in Llandough and he enjoyed a tummy rub and a bit of a fuss made of him. He would have let me do it for another hour or so I'm sure if time had permitted! He's a great walker, though needs to be kept in check when other dogs are passing, which I'm sure will improve with time and more socialisation. He will be a very faithful companion to his future owner(s) such is his demeanour.

Today we had the pleasure of meeting Taro!! Wow what an absolute bundle of fun!

This handsome chap has plenty of youngster energy and very inquisitive, he left no corner un-sniffed! lol

And he definitely had a soft spot for Nat!

How can anyone resist this little fuss monster...

walked this gorgeous boy on Monday evening in the pouring rain not that any of us minded, Torro was a lovely walking buddy and his nose was definitely our compass, great at sitting at all the crossings and loved a fuss every now. Will make someone a fantastic pet and buddy, and to top it all of he's so handsome! Lovely dark eyes and soft floppy ears ! Will defo be looking for his name on the list to walk again, although I hope it won't be there, and he would have already found his forever home !

Hey it's Taro. I've been waiting for a family for a while now. The walkers love me. Today I had two and even if I didn't trust them at first, and went straight for the flowers and for all the toys I could find along the way, by the end of the walk I kinda started to like them.



She was OK ..maybe a bit bossy when I got all excited about other dogs ( "woof-woof," "arf-arf", "bau-au")



But then she got her bag out ..and I knew in an instant it's going to be a TREAT!!



I was a lot more relaxed after that.



He was more fun! Don't you think we look alike?!?!



I really liked him! 


Cause he gave me cuddles and even let me go for a jog ..even if he couldn't keep up . What a great day!



But I am still waiting for a forever home <3.
I'm handsome and lively and promise I'll learn to walk on the lead better ..I will love you forever and give you the best cuddles! They can vouch for that!

Wow what fantastic photos! !

Stunning photos and great write up, Taro's lovely isn't heBx

[pomegranategirl]

He is such a cute dog and has so much love to give. I hope he will find a home soon ..my favourite thing was that when we stopped he was leaning on our legs looking for cuddles

First time taking Taro out today and wasn't disappointed, he was so intrigued by all the different smells out and about that we had to stop multiple times for him to take it in.

He sat nicely for some treats and was given a nice green toy to chew on. On the way back he just had to stop and have a roll around in the grass (I dont think he wanted to go back). Taro has some issues passing other dogs but if you are confident enough then there will be no problems walking around them.

Taro is so young and he deserves to be in a loving house who will give him the time and effort he needs.

Lovely long walk with this fab boy today! What a treat he is! Very focused on his walk until he decided to have a lay down on the grass verge so of course I sat with him! We had a fab cwtch and Taro enjoyed a good tummy rub and a roll round n the grass! We must have looked odd sitting in the grass cuddling by the side of the road!!!! But hey, it was his walk and if that's what he wants that's what he gets!!! I had a great time with him! Lovely boy with so much to give! 💙💙💙

Aww he's lovely. We saw him on our visit last week. I'm not looking to adopt until after the summer holidays as it wouldn't be fair on a dog with so much activity going on during these 6 weeks for my family. I wouldnt have the time to settle them in.
If he's still there in September I will definitely take a look in his kennel as all the posts are saying what a lovely personality he has 😉

I've had the pleasure of taking Taro out several times now and he is just fabulous! Aside from the fact he's utterly gorgeous 😍, he has the most amazing personality and he always makes me laugh.
As Baglady said in the op, couch potatoes need not apply - Taro is energetic and seriously enjoys his walks! The beagle part of him is obvious as he's often got his nose to the ground and loves a good sniff around. He also likes a good old roll around in the grass.
He can still be a little vocal around other dogs on times, but he's soooo much better than he was a few months ago - I've definitely seen an improvement and I'm sure with more training he'd be a perfect gentleman. He's still young and loves his food so I should imagine training wouldn't be too difficult - I think he's a smart cookie.
Taro can be very affectionate - he loves a cuddle and a fuss, and if you've got treats he simply can't take his eyes off you! He can still be a little eager to have the treats though, so best to keep them on the floor to preserve your fingers! 🤣
He listens well, will do a lovely sit and is good when crossing roads etc.
He's basically an all round awesome puppy, and as much as I love taking him out as often as I can - he deserves to have a very special forever home asap.

Why is this lovely boy still waiting?!?! Had another fab walk with him today. He has so much personality and is such fun to walk! His issues with other dogs can be sorted with further training once he is in his forever home! A lovely, handsome cuddle monster with so much to give 💙💙💙💙💙
