✨ Meet Tanner! This delightful 9-year-old long-haired dachshund weighs in at a petite 18 pounds but his heart is as big as his determination! With his charming personality, Tanner is not just a dog; he’s a little bundle of joy wrapped in fur! 🎉 While Tanner does have some minor hearing loss and a bit of weakness in his back legs, this spirited guy is quite the trooper and gets around just fine. He’s a playful soul who loves a good game of tug-o-war with his favorite towel and enjoys the company of dogs, kids, and even cats. 🐕🐈 But here’s the scoop: Tanner sometimes feels the need to “mark” his territory, so to avoid any mishaps, he wears a comfy belly band—think of it as his fashionable accessory! 💪💕 He is looking for a foster-to-adopt situation to ensure it’s a perfect match. All he wants is a loving family that understands his special needs. Tanner dreams of having a family where at least one parent is around—maybe someone who works from home or is retired—so he can get all the love and attention he adores. A home with older kids (over age 12) who know how to care for a special dachshund like him would be his paradise! 🌈 Like all doxies, Tanner loves basking in the sunlight and needs a secure, fenced yard to run free and explore! 🏡🏃 Just a little note for potential adopters: Tanner would not thrive in an apartment setting owing to the hustle and bustle that could overwhelm his gentle spirit. Now, let’s talk criteria, because Tanner is not just any pet—he’s an experience! The Oregon Dachshund Rescue has some important guidelines to help set Tanner and his new family up for success. If you work from home or part-time and have that secure fenced yard, you might be the perfect fit! 🏠💖 For Tanner’s best chance at a happy and carefree life, it’s essential that there are no other small pets, and the household should ideally be smoke-free. Adoption fees apply, which go toward ensuring the best care for Tanner and his furry friends. If you feel that your heart is tugging a little for Tanner, embrace this opportunity! You can give him the life he deserves! So, don’t hesitate—*apply through the Buddy App* today! You’ll never know the joy a little furball like Tanner can bring until you allow him into your heart! 🐾❤️
