Tanner Smith

My story

Looking for a quintessential puppy, look no further than Tanner! This 6-month-old cutie is equal parts sweet, silly, and snack-obsessed. Tanner has full puppy energy, loving all things dog- related.  He’s a great fetch player, born walker on a leash, and loves sniffing and exploring new places.  We’ve not had any accidents in the house and he’s kept to his toys for things to destroy. He also loves a good dig in the yard if he can get away with it! Tanner’s had a bit of a rough start, but you’d never know it by how sweet he is.  This clever little foodie is eager to please and learns quickly, but food can be a sensitive area for him. Tanner has shown food aggression with other dogs and should be fed separately in a controlled space. He’s making progress there but will require more oversight and training to address it. While he’s comfortable with people around his food and toys, we recommend caution in homes with young children who may not understand the importance of boundaries around food.  Playtime is Tanner’s favorite part of the day. He’s a blast with toys, thrives on human attention (he literally bounces with excitement!), and lights up when playing with other dogs. Sometimes he is rougher or more persistent than the other dogs want, so you will need to work with him if you already have other dogs in your house.  He mostly responds well to redirection and is making progress with the big dogs. If you do not have other dogs, then you can keep all his playful energy for yourself!   Tanner is looking for a home that’s ready for the joys and challenges of puppyhood: the cuddles, the chaos, the belly rubs, and the big (and little) victories. If you’ve got patience, structure, and a whole lot of love—Tanner might just be your perfect match.
