About Tango

Tango is a handsome 6½-year-old German Shepherd searching for a new family after losing his owner. This gentle giant needs a calm home where he can adjust and feel secure again. He is best suited for an adult-only household or one with teenagers, as he may become confused around younger children. Tango loves his walks and is quite vocal during outings, but he hasn't shown any aggression. Due to some spinal discomfort, he has not been formally tested with other dogs, but it’s clear he would thrive as an only pet or with a calm, low-energy female companion. Tango has been diagnosed with spondylosis, a condition that can cause stiffness, so regular low-impact exercise is essential for maintaining his mobility. His current living situation has been stressful, and he is losing weight without the consistent exercise he needs. A loving environment with routine walks would greatly benefit him. If you're experienced with German Shepherds and can offer him the stability and love he truly deserves, please consider opening your heart to Tango. Ready to make a difference? Apply today!
