About TANK (west)

Lab / German Shepherd
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Hi, my name is TANK - ID#A4495949. I am a neutered male, tan Labrador Retriever mix. The shelter staff think I am about 3 years old, and I have been at the shelter since Nov 02, 2020. Spunky Shepherd Looking to Learn New Skills' Tank is a young ball of excitement who needs a family to help him learn new skills. He's a little socially awkward and needs someone willing to teach him the ropes on what it's like to be a loved dog. Tank would do best with a quiet home with polite dogs. He knows 'sit', and takes treats well. He's a too playful for young kids and could easily knock them over, so please bring the entire family to meet Tank. Here are a few notes about Tank: 11/2/2020 INTAKE ASSESSMENT Shy at entrance, then became very hyper friendly; tail wagging on intake; held down to give Da2pp. Allowed all vaccines and handling; just hyper. 11/3/2020 EVALUATION Nervous in the kennel; relaxed, came forward with coaxing; erratic on leash; jumped up to solicit attention; would not settle during collar placement; yelped, snapped, darted away frantically when other dogs approached in yard - very fearful/avoidant; over time relaxed slightly, although continued to avoid and snap if approached; inspected calm, 12 year old dog when she ignored him; affiliative with the lead; dog will likely need training to be successful with other dogs. 11/18/2020 EVALUATION easy kennel pull; sniffed, some pulling walking to yard; started jumping up in yard, grabbing handler; responded well to either being ignored or settling into petting with all four feet on the ground; dog was rambunctious/energetic, but affiliative. Tank will need training - no doubt about that. But he is a wonderful, happy dog, and would make a great lifelong companion. Please consider saving Tank before he goes on the euthanasia list. 'URGENT' If you have no breed restrictions, please call ASAP = 520-800-4633.
