🚨 OVER-CAPACITY SHELTER SURVIVOR: MEET TANNER! 🚨
When a crowded shelter ran out of time for this magnificent boy, we knew we couldn’t let his story end there. Even though he isn’t a Weimaraner, we called in the rescue angels to pull him from the euthanasia list—and we are so glad we did! To top it off, we had his DNA tested, and he is a 100% purebred, 3-year-old neutered Isabella (Fawn) Doberman Pinscher! 🤎
Tanner arrived as a stray and, like so many, tested positive for heartworms. But this resilient warrior has officially conquered his treatment, completed his quiet rest, and is fully cleared, healthy, and ready to find his ultimate forever family! (He will be retested in six months).

The Total Package (With a Dash of Puppy Energy!)
At 3 years old, Tanner is at that prime age where he is eager to please but still full of youthful, vibrant life. He is an absolute speed demon who can run like the wind in an open field! He has a beautifully docked tail paired with soft, natural floppy ears that bounce when he runs.

Life in His Foster Home:
• The Ultimate Shadow: Tanner’s favorite place to be is exactly where you are. He will happily follow you from room to room just to be close. In fact, if left outside, he will jump a 4’ fence to get to his people.
• While he has shared a home with two Weimaraner brothers and a GSP, he has begun to guard his toys and foster mom, so we think he'd do best as an only dog.
• Grounded Sleeper: He sleeps soundly all night long in his dog bed right next to his foster human. He hasn't even tried to climb onto the big bed, though he does appreciate a good cuddle session on the sofa! Tanner prefers to cuddle on his terms, so no “in your face” cuddles.
• Good Citizen in Training: He alerts to the doorbell to let you know guests have arrived, but he is entirely welcoming and never aggressive to visitors.

Tanner’s Wish List for His Forever Home:
• Secure Fencing: This athletic boy can clear a 4-foot fence when motivated, so a 6’, secure fence or supervised yard time is a must.
• Clear Counters: Tanner is a bit of a counter-surfer if delicious things are left within reach (his foster mom says it's great motivation to keep the kitchen tidy!).
• Older Kids Only: Because he is still a strong, rambunctious youngster, he would be best suited for a home without small children.
• Leash & Obedience School: He does pull on the leash and will need a family excited to work with him on basic obedience and manners. He is incredibly smart and learns fast!
• Felines? Tanner has not been cat-tested yet.

Tanner would thrive beautifully as an only dog soaking up all your attention. He is going to make the most loyal, perfect companion for one very lucky person. Tanner is a real head-turner!!!
