TANNER's Story
08/19/25 16:57 What did we do on today’s adventure: <br/>I smelled adventure when I saw the harness! I was excited and got<br/> wriggly but I was also patient as the humans fit my harness and<br/> collar on me. I was a little skeptical when I was asked to jump up <br/>high into a big car so I stalled. My human friend got me a step <br/>ladder and helped me into the car. <br/>When I arrived at our destination, I quickly jumped out and took in <br/>all the smells of nature!! Aaah this is so much better than the my<br/> usual 15 mins walk around the shelter. We saw turkeys and cows but <br/>I left them alone but when I saw squirrels, I got excited! I was going<br/> to chase them but my human friend tugged on my leash and I<br/>understood so I focused on my hike instead.<br/>I was curious and sniffed everything on our path and I didn’t slow<br/> down at all! I checked in on my human friend as well, to make sure<br/> she wasn’t tired. We took several water breaks and I sat like a good<br/> boy for photos.<br/> As we were 2 miles into our hike, we saw a coyote following us from a <br/>distance and trotted carefully. Suddenly the coyote started yowling<br/> and we knew it was time to get out of the area ASAP! We ran till we<br/>couldn’t see nor hear the coyote. Phew!<br/> After the incident, we hiked for a bit more before resting at the picnic<br/> area. I was still very excited about the area and wanted to check out<br/>more things however it was time to head back. My human was sad to<br/> take me back so we stopped at a nearby neighborhood to sniff <br/>around briefly. I was a little tired but I look forward to my next <br/>adventure hopefully not too long from now. What should potential adopters know about me:<br/> Tanner is cautious, polite and calm but he is also full of energy and<br/> enthusiasm. He likes to look out of the car during the travel but <br/>stayed calm.<br/>He would make a great hiking or running buddy. He does not pull <br/>hard on the leash and did great with people during our hike. <br/>He gets excited seeing squirrels and will pull a bit but easily<br/> distracted with a little tug on the leash.<br/> Three words to describe me: <br/>Galoopy, Explorer, Energetic<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/> 07/21/25 07:36 What did we do on today’s adventure:<br/> Tanner and I spent the morning exploring the shady streets of Willow Glen, <br/>taking in the sights downtown and stopping by a doggy store where he carefully <br/>inspected all the treat options. We paused at a park so Tanner could sprawl out in <br/>the grass, happily observing the world around him. He did great on leash and <br/>thoroughly enjoyed sniffing every new scent along the way. Car rides aren’t his <br/>favorite, but with some reassurance, Tanner hopped in and handled it like a <br/>champ.<br/> What should potential adopters know about me:<br/> Tanner has been waiting at the shelter for nearly four months, and he’s ready for <br/>an active home that can match his adventurous spirit. He’s incredibly dog-social<br/> and a play group all-star, especially with his best buddy Milo (who’s also looking<br/>for a home!). Tanner loves greeting other dogs on walks and would be thrilled to <br/>have a dog sibling to share his adventures with. <br/>Tanner walks nicely on leash, knows how to sit, and is well-socialized. While he <br/>will need some time to adjust to home life, with patience and love, Tanner will <br/>blossom into a loyal, joyful companion. If you’re looking for a partner for<br/>neighborhood strolls, park outings, and everyday fun, Tanner would love to be by <br/>your side. Could you be the one to give him the loving home he deserves?<br/> Three words to describe me: Social, Playful, Sensitive
