At Running Etc., we love animals. Each Monday we highlight a dog or cat from a local rescue shelter. We hope to increase the networking for animals in need of a forever home. You might even find a wonderful running buddy, or more importantly, a terrific family member.
Tanner is a senior Retriever mix with a gentle way about him. He moves slowly and deliberately, except for his tail, which seems determined to express every positive emotion he’s ever had.
There’s a softness in his face and a warmth in his golden eyes that hint at both what he’s been through and what he’s still hoping for.
When Tanner came to us after his person passed away, he was in rough shape. Thin, exhausted, and so anemic from fleas, even a bath would have overwhelmed his system. He enjoys the basics: a quiet walk, a soft place to nap, and anyone willing to offer a slow back scratch.
Larger than life, with a personality that lights up the world, that's Sunshine.
She is smart and silly and she wants nothing more than to be right next to you. Like in your lap. Sunshine is a gorgeous, year old Border Collie mix and still has some puppy ways about her. She would do best in a home with no small children as she likes to sometimes guide you around.
Sunshine loves to hold your hand - in her mouth. And your ankles. Never biting down, just simply holding. She also loves to lie down in front of you and proudly presents you with her stomach - which promptly needs to be rubbed.
Sunshine has been described as having a big personality - but only in the best possible way.
She yearns for someone to call her own - and she will hold your hand for the rest of her days.
