About Tanuki

Tanuki is a charming adult male dog, born in January 2022 and weighing around 30 lbs. He's a lively mixed breed with a blend of Australian Cattle Dog and other breeds in his DNA, showing off a sense of adventure and playfulness. He has a wonderful disposition and gets along well with all kinds of animals. Whether it's chasing friends or cuddling up at night, Tanuki truly enjoys companionship. He has a unique bond with his mate Satori, who has helped him build confidence and learn that life is fun. This boy is off-leash trained, typically obeying commands unless he's pursuing a rabbit or squirrel, in which case he may temporarily lose focus. While Tanuki enjoys affection, he prefers it to be given at night or when he seeks it. He can feel overwhelmed by too much attention at once, so a calm environment will help him thrive. This sweet pup is being rehomed due to his owner's financial circumstances, which is no reflection of his character. **Ready to welcome Tanuki into your home?**
