Distinguished mature gentleman seeks young-at-heart soul mate for thoughtful walks, civilized games of toss-the-ball, and curled-up couch-potato evenings. I’ve sewn my wild oats on the streets and am ready to spend my golden years with a very special someone. I’m a house-trained perfect gentleman at home, although I love a great meal and sometimes lose myself in my enthusiasm to share yours!

Hi, my name is Lyle. They say there’s someone for everybody out there. I hope it’s true! I’m a little bit older and I know I’m not the dog everybody wants. I have some arthritis in my front leg, so I need to take a glucosamine supplement and an anti-inflammatory every day. But I get around just fine, and I still love to go on walks and play fetch! You just don’t have to walk as far with me, or play fetch as long, as you would with a younger, more excitable dog.

 I don’t like to talk about it much, but I’ve had a pretty rough life so far, and I spent a lot of time scrounging for food in the cold and sitting at the city pound. I want my later years to be the ones where I finally learn what love and a warm home are all about. Is there anybody out there who will give this gentle, kind ol’ dog a chance? I won’t ask for much, and I promise to be true to you to the end of my days.

TARA's adoption fee includes: spay/neuter, age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, heartworm test and prevention (if age appropriate), flea prevention and deworming.  TARA's pets are all eligible for a two week trial.

Due to the fact that many of our dogs come from the local city shelters, we do not know the background of many of them and therefore cannot always guarantee age or breed.  Size is subjective but we use the following guidelines: Small 1-20 pounds, Med 20-50 pounds, Large 50-80 pounds, Extra Large over 80 pounds.
