TANNER - German Shepherd Dog Dog for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Tanner
A Gentle Soul Looking for His Forever Family

6 years old • 70 lbs • Needs a confident dog companion

Tanner is a handsome 6 year old, 70 pound boy with a gentle heart and so much love waiting to be discovered.

Tanner is very shy and new people and unfamiliar situations can feel overwhelming for him. He isn’t the type of dog who will immediately run up to you and ask for attention. Instead, Tanner needs an understanding family who will give him the time, patience, and reassurance he needs to feel safe.

One of the most important things Tanner needs in his forever home is another friendly, confident dog. Having a canine buddy helps Tanner feel secure and gives him the confidence to explore, relax, and enjoy life. We have seen how much he benefits from having another dog by his side, and we believe his best match will be a home with a kind, social dog who can be his companion and role model.

Tanner has made progress, but he will need a family who understands that building trust takes time. His new family should be willing to let him come out of his shell at his own pace without pressure or expectations.

Once Tanner feels safe, you get to see the sweet soul underneath that nervous exterior. He is gentle, loyal, and incredibly deserving of a family who will celebrate the little milestones with him.

Tanner isn’t looking for a perfect home. He’s looking for the right home one with patience, understanding, another dog to lean on, and people who will love him exactly as he is.

If you have room in your heart for a shy boy who needs a little extra time to trust, Tanner could be your boy. Give him patience, and he may give you a friendship that means everything.

Could you be Tanner’s person?
