Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Tanner! Tanner is a red tri Australian Shepherd born on March 14, 2021, entered the world under challenging circumstances, coming from a dog hoarding situation. When he arrived at his current home on September 25, 2023, Tanner was thin and fearful, bearing the scars of neglect. Despite his difficult past, Tanner's story is one of resilience and the transformative power of love.
Initially cautious and skittish, Tanner struggled to adjust to his new environment. Simple tasks like being leashed or venturing downstairs filled him with anxiety. However, with patience and understanding, Tanner slowly began to overcome his fears.
Around unfamiliar humans, especially females, Tanner remains cautious and quick to retreat. Yet, in the presence of his trusted caregiver, a 62-year-old male, Tanner finds comfort and security.
Despite his apprehension, Tanner possesses a gentle and affectionate heart. When he feels safe, he exhibits a chill and easygoing demeanor, enjoying the simple pleasures of lounging in the yard and watching squirrels from the deck.
Tanner's journey to trust has been aided by the presence of canine companions in his foster home. While he may not engage in play, he finds comfort in their company, providing him with a sense of belonging.
To ensure Tanner's continued growth and well-being, he requires a special kind of family. An older, male caregiver in a calm environment would be best suited to meet his needs. While his compatibility with children remains uncertain, Tanner may thrive in a home with older kids or no children at all.
Despite the challenges he has faced, Tanner's journey serves as a testament to the power of love and resilience. With each passing day, he takes another step forward on his path to healing, reminding us all of the importance of patience, compassion, and second chances.
The details:
Needs Fence: yes
Good with dogs: yes (calm and confident)
Good with cats: no exposure
Good with kids: older or no kids
