About Tango

Meet Tango! This handsome 4-year-old German Shepherd is searching for a foster home, ideally with the potential for adoption once custody is awarded. Tango has come a long way after being rescued from a cruelty case. Now, he’s thriving and is ready to experience the love and normalcy of a real home. Tango is a friendly guy who absolutely adores people and would do well with children. He’s crate trained, making him an ideal candidate for a caring environment. However, he’s selective with his dog friends, so an introduction with a female dog would be necessary. As a reminder, he cannot live with small animals due to past trauma. Currently heartworm positive, Tango is receiving treatment, which will require some extra care from his foster family. Despite his past hardships, his heart remains open and ready for love. If you've thought about fostering, Tango could be the perfect match for you. What better way to change a life than to welcome Tango into your home?
