Tanner is a sweet and spunky little Chihuahua who is looking to settle into a furever home. Tanner is a little reserved at first, but after a while his spunky, sassy side starts to show... especially if you are the Malicious Mailman or an Evil Intruder come to steal his SuperBowl snacks.

Couch potato humans and TV binge watchers are his favorites, particularly if there is a spot for him on that lap or under that blankee with a dog buddy. Most humans are OK, though he is a Ladies Man for sure &  warms up more slowly to men.   Very small humans who get in his face or accidentally trip on him are probably not his cup-o-tea.. so an adult-only home or one with older/respectful children would be best.

Cats are to be ignored, but small dogs are cool. Very large dogs or hyper-happy types who want to non-stop play-play-play?  Not so much.

Tanner is housetrained and will promptly ask to go out, or use the pee pad for actual business.  Unfortunately, being only recently neutered, Tanner hasn’t yet realized that recreational "declarations" on the corner of furniture aren't acceptable... so he'll need a smidge of work & some understanding of this in a new home.   (he comes with his very own set of custom-made bellybands to get him past that phase, so no worries)

He is leash-trained and finds walkies and car rides a blast!   Just don't pull into AutoZone & think that car-tech is going to pop the hood & check a battery without a serious "talking to" from the front, Tanner occupied seat. :o)
