More about Tanner

🐶 TANNER — The Playful Protector With a Heart of Gold
Tanner was surrendered with several other dogs, and he’s everything you’d expect from a working‑breed boy: playful, energetic, social, and full of sweetness. He loves every dog he meets and brings a joyful, goofy energy everywhere he goes.
But Tanner’s greatest gift is the one he gave Ripp.
When Ripp arrived terrified and unsure, Tanner stepped in naturally — showing him how to play, how to trust, how to explore the world without fear. He became Ripp’s emotional support dog, his teacher, his comfort, and eventually his best friend. Tanner is patient, gentle, and incredibly intuitive with Ripp, adjusting his energy to whatever his friend needs.
He’s the kind of dog who lights up a room and lifts up the dogs around him too.

šŸ’› WHY THEY MUST STAY TOGETHER
Ripp and Tanner aren’t just bonded — they are each other’s lifeline.
Tanner gave Ripp the confidence to live.
Ripp gave Tanner purpose and connection.
They play nonstop, sleep curled up together, and move through the world as a team.
Separating them would break both their hearts.
They are ready for a home that sees the magic in their friendship and wants to be part of their healing story.
