Taquito

Taquito is an adoptable male Black Labrador Retriever looking for a home at BARC Animal Shelter in Houston, Texas. He is fully grown and x-large in size. He is listed on the shelter's euthanasia list, listed due to lack of space, and that date has now passed. Shelters often move these dates, so Taquito may still be waiting. The shelter can confirm.
