About Tanga

Tanga is a lively and loving 6-month-old German Shepherd mix with plenty of playful spirit. Despite her large size for a young pup (about 40 lbs), she has a gentle demeanor and an eager, curious outlook on the world. Always by your side, Tanga thrives on companionship—whether you’re out exploring parks or just playing fetch in the backyard, she’s happiest when she’s part of the action. Intelligence and loyalty are some of her best qualities; she’s quick to pick up on commands and wants nothing more than to please her people. Tanga enjoys the company of other dogs and gets along with them well. House training is still in progress, and sometimes excitement gets the best of her, leading to the occasional slip-up. She can be a bit reserved on first meeting but doesn’t take long to reveal her goofy, affectionate personality. Tanga does not do well with cats, so a feline-free home is best. She’s looking for a family that will cherish her big heart and give her a place to grow and shine. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
