Tanner

Profile

This boy is sweet and as you can see from his pictures, very handsome. He is a neutered male, 4 years old. He has had a vet check and is up to date on his shots. He is a bit on the hefty side weighing in at 112 pounds. I just got him today. Here is his sad story. He came to RAGOM from a humane society. He got to them after being picked up as a stray. He had been found straying with his mother. He had spent his life with her until this week. The owner of Tanner and his mother picked up the mother, but left Tanner. How hard for him to lose his home and his mother all at one time!

He was covered with burrs and ticks when rescued. He has bald patches on both sides of his ribs. The vet said that it may have been caused by poor nutrition. Aside from being overweight, he checked out healthy. I am taking him in for another grooming tomorrow. The first bath helped a great deal, but he needs another one. His ears and teeth look good.

He met all of my dogs with no problem. The people who had cared for him said he got a bit growly with another dog over a rawhide. We don't have them in my house, so I have not seen that behavior. He did not eat his food tonight. I was told that he had been very depressed the first few days at the humane society and did not eat much. It is lucky that he has some extra weight he can spare.

I think Tanner will be a great dog for some lucky family, especially if they had a dog friend for him to pal around with.
