king him on. However, the severity of his condition was quickly realized and having followed the Be Like Josh Foundation for years, his amazing foster reached out. Fast forward to a few weeks ago when communication started between Tanner’s foster and Kimberly at BLJ. As with all rescues, emergencies came up and Kimberly let us know that Tanner hadn’t been forgotten but due to circumstances was on a waitlist for them to intake him. But last week Tanner started having what appeared to be seizure episodes, and Be Like Josh knew the severity of the situation if he was left seizing. So this week, without a second thought Be Like Josh and Oklahome partnered up and in less than 48 hours Tanner was in Dallas for a full neurological work up. As you can imagine this type of imaging and testing is not cheap and Be Like Josh did not hesitate in making everything happen. It’s hard to fathom that this amazing organization dropped everything after seeing videos of Tanner to partner up, call around and get him a neurology appointment, and then to drop $5000 on a dog they have never met, for a foster they have never met, with a rescue they have never heard about. Do you understand how amazingly awesome that is?!From BLJ on the results - His MRI revealed his entire brain is severely underdeveloped and spinal fluid has filled in where brain tissue should be, resulting in compensatory hydrocephalus. According to veterinary medicine, this is a non-progressive diagnosis. However, after working with many dogs w/varying degrees of impact to their cerebrum/forebrain, we can speak to the fact that it would not be unheard of for Tanner to show progression of some clinical symptoms if not properly supported. He has the ability to put on weight and muscle, improve strength and become more capable as well as learn commands and boundaries. To know we have answers on Tanner, no more guessing on what it might be is a tremendous relief…it doesn’t make his journey easier, but it makes it more focused and calculated.Our sincere thank you go out to Be Like Josh as well as his phenomenal Foster who is advocated for him from day one. We are doing everything we can to help this sweet boy live a full and happy life

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
