About Tank

Tank is an approximately 3-year-old Pit Bull mix currently fostered between Mason City and Waterloo/Cedar Falls, Iowa. He came to us as an owner surrender from Oklahoma after his previous family could no longer provide the time he needs. Now, in foster care, Tank is proving to be a loving, intelligent dog. This big cuddler enjoys human interaction, playing with other dogs, and loves splashing in water. He has a unique habit of pushing and flinging a giant rock with his nose, which has led to some irritation, but his foster is caring for it with balm and monitoring his progress. He keeps himself busy and is very people-oriented, often following his foster around the home. Tank is both potty trained and crate trained. He is making strides with leash manners and learning commands like “sit,” “stay,” “outside,” and “lay.” His eagerness to please, combined with treat motivation, showcases his intelligence and readiness to learn after his dive into structured training. While Tank gets along well with dogs, he prefers a home without cats. He enjoys playtime and does well with different-sized dogs, though he may need reminders to play gently when excited. His foster is still getting to know him, so more insights will come as he settles. Tank will be neutered before adoption and is up to date on vaccinations, on monthly preventative, dewormed, and microchipped. His heartworm test is pending. If you’re interested in giving Tank a lovable forever home, please complete the adoption application. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
