About Tank

Tank was surrendered to the shelter when he was not a good fit for the home. He is 6 years old and weighs in at 46 pounds. He loves attention and is a happy guy! He will need a quieter home without small children. Tank has tested well with the cats here at the shelter. He does know sit, but we have yet to find any other commands that he may know. A knowledge of the Elkhound Breed and care would be best for potential adopters. Tank has been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, Heartworm/Lyme tested, and microchipped since his arrival at the shelter. Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter 5051 Letterkenny Road West Chambersburg, PA 17201 Kennel License# 2090 To adopt: https://cvas-pets.org/

Adopting a Norwegian Elkhound brings a dependable, friendly companion who is devoted to family. They are good with children, make excellent watchdogs, and maintain their playful spirit throughout life. Their moderate size and hardy constitution make them adaptable to many environments.
