   Hello! My name is Tara! I am special because I was rescued twice by my current human companion. I was originally given up at the shelter with my mother and the rest of my siblings for raiding a hen house. I lived with my companion for 1.5 years and then sadly my companion could not keep me, so I stayed with a friend who gave me away to these nasty people who tied me up in the heat in a tiny back yard. One day I escaped and was caught by animal control. I was put in the shelter until I was suddenly recognized by the sister of my companion. Next thing I know, my companion has bailed me out of jail! I now live in a lovely house with a younger brother Toby and a sister, Sasha. I also live with three cats that I love to chase on occasion! The aquarium fish don't bother me. I also have a knack for burrowing under covers and resting my head on my companions neck!! Sometimes my mom calls me Bear as a nickname because when I growl I sound like a bear attack about to happen. But I am kind to my mom and I do okay with Toby and Sasha - it's the UPS man that drives me wild!
