Tanner is a handsome 1.5-year-old Australian Shepherd mix who weighs about 40 pounds and is ready to discover just how wonderful life with people can be.
Tanner and the other dogs in his home had very little human interaction or handling as they grew up. Because of that, Tanner is still learning how to feel comfortable and confident around people.
The good news? Tanner is incredibly smart, and once he decides he trusts you, he bonds quickly. He has already shown that he wants to connect with his people and just needs someone willing to give him the time, patience, and consistency to continue building his confidence. His adopter will need to help him form positive relationships with more people so that his world can gradually become a little bigger.
Tanner is house-trained and would love a home with a secure fenced yard where he can safely explore and play. He would do best with female dogs and may be happiest with a canine companion who can help him feel comfortable and settled.
Tanner isn't looking for someone who expects him to be perfectly confident from day one. He's looking for someone who understands that the best relationships take time and who will celebrate every little step along the way.
Interested in finding out if Tanner could be your guy? Please fill out an adoption application and we will work with you to find the right fit.

All of our Adoptables are:Spayed/neutered; Up to date on vaccines; Heartworm tested if six months or older (& kept on heartworm preventative and treated for heartworms if positive when entering our program): Microchipped prior to adoptionBREEDS: We are not breed experts. The breed(s) listed for each adoptable are best guesses or suggestions.PLEASE NOTE: We are a non-profit organization without municipal or government funding. Veterinary/Medical expenses are constant for an animal rescue. Our adoption fees not only help to provide vetting and care for the animal being adopted, but they also help to cover heartworm treatments and other treatable ailments that many animals, that would otherwise be euthanized, need in order to be made available for adoption.Please understand that adopting an animal is a LIFETIME COMMITMENT to that animal and there will be veterinary expenses throughout their life that can often cost several hundreds, if not thousands of dollars (without pet insurance), especially without annual checkups and preventative care. As a potential family for this pet you are responsible for their safety and that includes keeping them on your property.***If you are not in the middle Tennessee area, transport can potentially be arranged to approved homes, depending on distance and local adaptability. We normally do not allow adoptions outside of 1.5 hours driving distance.
