Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This adorable little chihuahua is Tanner, a 4 year old boy that has been through so much in his young life. The first picture here is of Tanner when he was first brought to our Newark facility in Nov. 2014. A motorist spotted this emaciated, dehydrated, soaking wet little guy on the median of a busy highway in the rain. He was obviously dumped there by an uncaring person. Thankfully, he rescued Tanner and brought him to the safety of our Newark facility. Our Newark staff provided Tanner with excellent medical care, lots of good meals, and a spa day too. Look at him now! Tanner came to us at Popcorn Park for a change of scenery and he is ready to meet his forever family. Tanner is still quite shy, and understandably so, but once he gets to know you, he'll just love you. Tanner is well behaved and the perfect gentleman. He is calm and quiet, and would prefer a home without a lot of commotion. Tanner would do best with children over 10, and he is just fine with most dogs he meets. Tanner has already been given the gift of a second chance in life, now he just needs a wonderful family to share his life with. File#24128 11/18/14
