Tan’s story is one of resilience and love, despite the challenges she has faced. It’s clear she has endured incredible hardships, and her journey explains her protective nature. After all, being shot and left paralyzed would be a traumatic experience for anyone, let alone a dog trying to survive. Her aggression isn’t who she truly is—it’s her way of saying she’s scared and needs understanding.

The fact that Tan can still show sweetness over time speaks volumes about her heart. Her trust may take time to earn, but when it’s given, it’s a precious gift. She’s not just a scared dog; she’s a survivor who deserves compassion, patience, and love. Six years after her rescue, she’s a reminder of how strong animals can be, even when faced with pain and adversity.

Tan deserves to feel safe and cherished, and it’s heartwarming to know someone sees her for more than her fears—for the sweet, loving soul she truly is.
