About Tank

Meet Tank, a sweet boy who's ready for a new home! Brought in as an owner surrender, he's a mix of Pit Bull and German Shepherd, with a bit of Bullmastiff in him. At about 1.5 years and weighing around 65 lbs, he's a strong pup who needs someone who can handle his energy and enthusiasm. Tank knows basic commands but requires leash training since he tends to pull hard. Crate-trained, he spent much of his previous life outdoors and isn't fully house trained yet. While he’s clever and eager to please—especially when treats are involved—he’s still learning the ropes. He enjoys the company of kids and had a blast with a 4-year-old in his last home. Though he hasn't been socialized with many animals, he played well with a dog through the fence and could thrive with a confident companion. Tank isn’t neutered yet, but he has an appointment scheduled for June 26th. With his vaccinations and microchip already set, he's ready to find his forever family.
