Tanner is one of those dogs who’ll make you laugh without trying—he’s got a real cheeky side. He’s affectionate, likes to be close, and will often nudge your hand, as if he’s inviting you to follow his lead around the house. Tanner gets along well with other dogs, though he’s choosy with bigger ones, preferring the company of smaller friends. His playful but gentle attitude stands out in group settings. When he arrived, he was overweight, loaded with worms, and heartworm positive, but now he’s returned to good health, at a reasonable weight, and full of energy. His hips can be a bit stiff sometimes, which is being evaluated, but he still handles stairs and loves to hop in the car for rides. Given his tendency to be clingy, a home where someone is around most of the time—maybe someone who works from home or is retired—will suit him best. Born December 19th, Tanner is a Sagittarius, so you can expect a bit of adventure and loyalty. He’s ready for a household where laughter and cuddles are part of daily life. Your new best friend is just one click away.
