Name: Tanner

Age: 8-10 years

Breed: White Lab Mix

Personality: The Friendliest Guy

Description:

Meet Tanner, the embodiment of kindness and warmth in a furry, lovable package. Tanner is an 8-10 year old white Lab mix with an endearing personality that shines through his eyes and wagging tail. This remarkable pup was let down by his previous family when they abandoned him at a high-kill shelter in rural Southwest Virginia, all because they felt he was getting too old. But we know that age is just a number, and Tanner has a heart full of love to share with his new forever family.

Temperament:

Tanner's greatest strength is his unfaltering affection for people and other dogs. He is the definition of a "people-dog," always seeking companionship and sharing his boundless love. His friendly nature extends to all he meets, making him the perfect companion for anyone looking to add warmth and happiness to their life. He's the kind of dog who can brighten even the gloomiest of days with his joyful presence.

Physical Description:

Tanner's snow-white coat is soft to the touch and a pleasure to cuddle with. His soulful eyes hold the wisdom of his years and a sense of longing for a loving family to call his own. Tanner's heart and spirit are as young and vibrant as ever.

Ideal Home:

Tanner is the perfect addition to a loving home where he can be a cherished family member. He thrives on human interaction and would do well in a household where he can spend quality time with his family members. Whether it's lounging on the couch, going for leisurely walks, or playing in the backyard, Tanner is up for anything as long as he's with his people.

Tanner's friendly nature makes him an excellent candidate for families with children or for individuals who are looking for a companion to brighten their days. He's also great with other dogs, so if you have a furry friend at home already, he's likely to get along famously.

Adoption Note:

Tanner's past may be marked by abandonment, but his future is filled with endless possibilities and unconditional love. If you're ready to give this wonderful senior pup the home he truly deserves, please consider adopting Tanner. He's waiting with open paws and a heart full of love to become your lifelong friend and companion.

Don't let age define the worth of a dog like Tanner. Instead, let his joyful spirit and loving nature be the reason you welcome him into your life. Tanner is a testament to the fact that age is merely a number, but love is timeless. Adopt Tanner, and you'll discover a lifetime of happiness, loyalty, and companionship.
