About Tank

Meet Tank !! This is a really great dog! Still young but already trained. Super easy dog to have around the house. He is loving, loyal and well behaved. He is very eager to please. Tank belonged to our founders neighbor. He passed away suddenly and the family asked us to help tank find a new home. Tank was only with his owner for a few months but he brought him so much joy and happiness. Since arriving here he has been adapting quickly and has been a loving happy boy. He is an approx 1 year old and male. He was said to be a Lab/Pit mix but his build and look favor more of a Pit/Hound mix but it's just a guess. He weighs 58 pounds and is close to full grown. Tank is vaccinated, dewormed, neutered, and microchipped. He is on monthly preventatives. He has been very well behaved since we took him in. He was so good at the vet and let them do all the vaccines and blood draws without any issues. He is loving and happy to meet everyone. He can be a touch shy at first but that fades quickly. He loves to just be near you but also has no issues if you need to leave him for work etc. Tank has been doing wonderful with his house manners. He learns very quickly and wants to do things to make you happy. He has done fairly well on the leash despite not doing much leash walking before. He is mostly gentle with the leash only pulling if he wants to smell something or gets excited. If he starts to get too excited a gentle reminder usually calms him right down. He is great on car rides but is a bit afraid getting in. He is awesome in the crate. He rarely makes a sound and knows to go in when asked. He has done very well with potty training and does not have any accidents in his crate. He has so far never tried to mark his territory inside but does that a lot outside. We are already seeing a reduction in that since his neuter this week. He adjusts well to new places and routines and picks things up quickly when shown what you want from him. Tank loves all the dogs he has met so far. He seems to be good at playing with the playful ones and leaving the others alone. He plays gently with the little ones but also doesn't mind rough housing more with the larger dogs if they want to. He has met dogs of all sizes including other unfixed males and has had no issues with any of them. He loves to run around the yard being chased, or chasing another dog. He has never been around cats so we have no idea how he would do. He is not fostered with young kids but we think he would likely do fine with them. He has a very laid back sweet demeanor. He met a 13yr old at the vet and was wonderful with her. When he first arrived he was jumping on people when excited but we don't see that much anymore. He may initially jump up but will stop easily with verbal correction. So far he has a medium energy level. He will need playtime and both mental and physical exercise every day but also has a very chill and cuddly side afterward. He is fine to go run the yard with other dogs a few times a day to get his exercise. He also has no trouble spending a full work day kenneled as long as you give him some playtime and interaction after work. He does think he's a lap dog at times and will climb right up on you to get loved on. Generally, he will just lay on the floor near you or in a dog bed when nothing is going on. We do not feed dogs together to avoid issues however Tank has not shown any issues with his food. He has had dogs near and around his kennel when he is eating without a reaction. He has no trouble sharing toys and treats around other dogs. He takes treats very gently. He's fine with people around his food, toys and treats. Tank seems to be a very sweet, loving boy that is happy and loyal. He is a very easy to have in the home and already knows all of his basic training. If you are looking for a loyal guy then he just might be your man. Vet and home checks required. Located in Hampton VA. (He will need to be adopted within a 2 hour drive radius) �'�%BC��%8FPlease message the [email protected] directly with questions or to get an application.
