About Tank

Tank is a striking boxer mix with an easygoing, affectionate nature and an appetite for close contact. Weighing in at almost 40 lbs, he doesn’t let that stop him from claiming the nearest lap – his foster family gave up trying to persuade him otherwise long ago. This dog’s world revolves around his people: he’ll wedge himself under blankets, lounge on the couch for movie night, and gnaw a benebone beside you for hours. Play comes in bursts – a few wild laps around the yard or kicking up his heels for fetch – but the heart of his day is wherever his humans settle. Tank knows his basics: leash-trained, crate-trained, and can follow several commands. He’s calm with small animals, great with kids and adults alike, and generally a gentle presence. Housetraining is still in process; Tank missed some basics early on, so he will need patience and routine as he learns. He’s selective with other dogs, so careful introductions are a must, but he can live with cats if feeding and shared spaces are managed. Tank wants a home where someone is often present – retirees, work-from-home folks, or anyone with a steady routine suit him best. His progress has been hard-won, and he deserves someone who will appreciate just how devoted a companion he can be. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
