About Tank

Tank is a spirited 3-year-old Belgian Malinois/Australian Shepherd mix with a beautiful sable coat and a big heart. Weighing around 40 pounds, he fits perfectly into an active household looking for a loyal companion. Neutered, fully vetted, and crate trained, Tank gets along exceptionally well with both people and other dogs. As a tripod, having lost one of his front legs in a young accident, Tank doesn’t let that slow him down. He loves to run, play, and explore, always ready for whatever adventure comes his way. Water enthusiasts will find Tank to be a delightful companion—whether it’s splashing around in a creek or playing with a sprinkler, he’s always up for a swim. Ideal for a family that appreciates intelligent and energetic dogs, Tank is highly motivated by food and eager to learn new skills. He does well with children and has shown good behavior around other dogs, though he doesn’t get along with cats or other small animals like chickens. Though he’s crate trained and does well there, a little refresher on potty training may be needed as he adjusts to a more traditional home setting. With the right guidance, we’re confident he’ll make a smooth transition. Tank is looking for an active family who will appreciate his loyalty and zest for life. If you’re ready for an adventure buddy who will splash in every puddle and then curl up beside you at the end of the day, Tank might just be the one for you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
