About Tank

Tank is searching for a foster or permanent home by October 3 to secure his transport to Cedarburg, WI with Mutt Life Dog Rescue. Currently in a Georgia shelter, Tank, a 9-year-old, 43-pound Lab mix, has known hardship, living in a hoarding situation before finding his way to safety.

With help from shelter volunteers, he’s started to engage with some dogs and enjoys playtime more than ever. Tank needs a patient adopter or foster willing to support him as he learns to trust and adjust to a loving home environment.
