His favorite activities include training sessions and puzzle feeders, especially when snacks are involved.

About Tank

Tank’s name suits him perfectly, as he’s a big boy with a soft, teddy bear personality. After a quick sniff hello, he leans into you, soaking up every bit of affection you offer. The staff loves how gentle he is, and he's a breeze to leash up for walks. During yard time, Tank shows off his playful side. True to his shepherd heritage, he’s smart and enjoys a good challenge—puzzle feeders or training sessions are right up his alley, especially if snacks are involved. Once, a whole box of treats mysteriously vanished at his old place, and it wasn’t hard to figure out who the culprit was. He’s not a fan of kennel life, so give him the cozy comfort of a dog bed, and he’ll be much happier. If you have a dog at home, bring them along for a visit so our team can help ensure a smooth introduction. Stop by HSHC and let Tank lean on you for a while.
