My story

*Tank is available for our foster to adopt program*  Tank is a 3-year-old, 11lb Chihuahua mix with the funniest ears and a love for walks. This little guy is house-trained, crate-trained, and doesn’t struggle with separation anxiety. He’s always on “security duty,” letting his foster mom know about any “intruders” at the door, but when he’s off the clock, you’ll find him napping soundly in his bed. Tank enjoys playing with plush squeaky toys and is highly food-motivated. He’s also a social butterfly with other dogs and gets so excited to meet them on walks that he occasionally pulls on his leash. Tank came from a household that didn’t fully understand him, so he’s working on building trust and managing triggers like resource guarding his bed, crate, or designated area. He’s incredibly loyal and has a tendency to bond strongly with one person. In multi-human households, it’s important that everyone works together to help Tank feel connected to all family members.  We think Tank would thrive in an active household that integrates both physical and mental stimulation into his daily life. Whether it’s long walks, playtime with toys, or engaging in training sessions, he’ll flourish with a family that can keep him engaged and happy. This spunky little guy is smart, learns quickly, and thrives with consistency and structure. His adopter will receive one free session with the rescue’s trainer to set Tank up for success. With patience and love, Tank will blossom into his best self and bring lots of joy and laughs to his forever family. Tank is available for foster-to-adopt and is looking for a family who will embrace his spicy, loyal, and playful personality. If you’re ready to welcome a sweet, spirited companion into your home, apply for Tank today! Vaccinated for rabies, DA2PP, and bordetella. Neutered, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention due 10/1. Please contact us DIRECTLY using the instructions below if you are interested in adopting one of our Waggytails! Visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal.  Adoptions: adopt@waggytailrescue.org Waggytail Rescue CANNOT guarantee the exact age of any adoptable dog, or final size of any of our adoptable puppies. We rely on the information provided to us by veterinarians, shelters, owner surrenders and other circumstances bringing the dog into our rescue. ##1525366##
