A Take a guess? Male named Taxi

Taxi is presently Adopted

My name is Taxi and my life has been quite a ride so far!  I’m a comedian too.  I was picked up by animal control and I guess my owners must have had more important things to do than to go looking for me.  So here I am at the Animatch Centre and I’m doing just fine.  I’m about a year old and I am very proud to say that I am a mutt; I guarantee that you will enjoy my companionship as much as you would any Lab or Poodle.  Don’t follow a trend, be an independent thinker and adopt a mutt like me.  I’m not from championship lineage and I don’t have any papers but I know that you will never see a dog like me twice.  Experience the fun and mystique of having a one-of-a-kind dog. Hey, I’m a conversation piece!  It’s my personality, not my pedigree that really matters ... right?  I get along well with other dogs and I enjoy a nice long walk.  Couch potatoes aren’t my type as I am very active and will need lots of exercise.  I’m uber smart so obedience classes would be a cinch for me.  I might even like to try agility.  Wherever you go, I’ll follow.  So, are you ready for commitment?  I promise to give you my love and loyalty for many years to come.  Just fill in that Adoption Form…. Remember the name’s T-A-X-I. 

“If you can’t decide between a Shepherd, a Setter, or a Poodle, get them all ..... adopt a mutt!”  ..............ASPCA

Am I ready for a dog?

Adopting a dog is a life-changing event--or should be. A dog needs lots of time and attention and you've got to be there every day to give it. So, BEFORE filling out the animatch adoption form, find out whether you're ready for a dog, or would be happier with a goldfish instead: Fill this great questionnaire now to find out of you are ready for a dog.

    I don’t have a problem with his coloring, body shape, size, etc…but he looks a little “grumpy”..(probably rightly so!) I am sure that David will bring out the best of him!

    What a funny looking little guy.  The fur on his lower half looks like one on a cat!  A little DNA test like I bought for Lacey will help clarifiy his origins.  Anyway, he will find a great home and be happy.

    You’re right on.  Part hyena - part cat with 1/4 chihuahua thrown in for good measure.

    We will gladly give a DNA kit to whoever adopts him, if they are interested in knowing his origins.

    He is so cute! Whoever adopts this guy, please let us all know what the DNA test says, if they end up taking a test!

    He is adorable.  Who cares what he’s a mix of.  All he needs is a good home and lot of love.

    It’s true, it really does not matter what mix of breed he his, the guessing is all done in good fun.  We all wish him a good life.

    Ears and long body - could be some cogi in him?  Wrong colour and face structure aren’t cogi.  I’ve adopted a Heinz 57 from another rescue site 3 years ago.  Such a wonderful dog.  People still asked me what breed he is….....Heinz 57, best breed!

    Thanks Anik… once again… I would adopt Taxi in a heart beat… He rolled with me on the ground. Hehe. We really had a fun time doing his pictures.

    I would adopt him too, he seems soooo cool and fun. But with the new baby comming and my own Yorkie named Taxi it would be one too many Taxis. wink

    haaaa… It’s too bad tho…. because he is also soooooo soft! He’s the perfect partner to watch a good movie on the sofa on a late night! smile

    I met Taxi at the highland games this summer and fell in love with him within minutes! (possibly even within seconds!) who ever adopts him has found a real treasure.
