Story
Meet Tan, a 5-year-old neutered male Shiba mix with a stunning black and white coat and a sturdy build, weighing 20kg and standing 46cm tall at the shoulder. Tan’s journey hasn’t been the easiest—he was first rescued from a city shelter, then foster-to-adopted, only to be returned when his adopter moved to a home that didn’t allow dogs. He’s now back, hoping for a second chance at a forever home that will truly be his last.
Tan can be a bit shy at first, especially around men, but he quickly warms up with a little patience—and a treat or two! Once you’ve won him over, he’s easy to handle, allows you to pick him up with arms under his belly, and will even show you his tummy when he’s feeling cozy and secure. He tends to be more comfortable with women but is affectionate and eager to bond once trust is built.
With other dogs, Tan is friendly and social, happily approaching both familiar and unfamiliar pups to say hello or invite them to play. He especially gets along well with dogs his size or smaller, and although he’s not a fan of overly hyper dogs, he avoids conflict and walks away from trouble.
Out on walks, Tan is focused on his human, even if a cat crosses his path—he’s more interested in your next step than chasing after anything. He has a moderate energy level, enjoying outdoor time and exercise, but knows how to relax and rest once he’s back inside. He walks beautifully on leash without pulling and listens well.
Tan isn’t food possessive with people or other dogs and rarely barks. He’s calm in a crate, hops into and out of the car on his own, and prefers doing his business outside. He’s a well-mannered boy with a few extra pounds to lose, so he’s currently on a diet to get back to his healthiest self.
Tan is the total package—sweet, smart, and ready to love. All he needs now is a home that won’t let him go.
