Stray dogs wander the streets, hoping to find scraps of food to satisfy their hunger.
Every new day they spend on the streets represents new hope that they will finally be saved and taken to safety.Tanner was one of those stray pups. While he was roaming the streets of Houston, Texas, he was eagerly waiting for the day when somebody would notice him and rescue him.
That day finally came and Tanner was rescued and brought to a local shelter. Shortly after he arrived, the shelter staff was thrilled to discover that he was a very special pooch.Ever since he was brought to the shelter, Tanner longed to find his forever family. Three weeks passed and nobody wanted to adopt him.
The shelter he was in was overcrowded, and sadly, the cute pup’s name ended up on the euthanasia list.
Madeline Garvis Smith, a local dog advocate, visited Tanner. She was impressed with the affectionate pooch after he put his paws around her, giving her the sweetest of hugs.
