Tank

Hi! I’m Tank and I’m looking for a new family to call my own.

I arrived at the shelter with my best mate Ronnie, who is just a little boy and is also available for adoption. I understand if you can't adopt both of us but I just wanted you to know that I'm happy to hang out with a little dog.

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR TANK
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/ojytECDTQY7UUnoT6

NOTE: You are unable to meet Tank until/unless you have been notified that you are a successful applicant. An adoption cannot be approved unless you are able to come to the shelter to meet Tank in person and bring any dogs you currently have with you.

What I need in my new home:
• BREED KNOWLEDGE IS PREFERRED
• I arrived at the shelter as a stray, so my history is unknown. Due to this, my interaction with cats that are free roaming in the house or yard is completely unknown. There can be no guarantee that I will be ok living with cats, so it is recommended that I don’t go to a home that has them.
• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
• Further training with basic doggie manners
• To be allowed inside with my family
• I have lived with a small dog, so a doggie companion would be great to keep me company when my family isn’t home as I can be vocal.
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent)
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean
• Lots of love and attention
• A quiet & mature family/household - this is what I am used too

Things that I don’t want in my new home:
• To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
• Not to be allowed inside with my family
• Never to go on a walk or rides in the car
• Cats or small animals as I may find them fun to chase

My best features:
• Wiggle butt
• Gentle & placid
• I have had some basic obedience training and am a generally well-mannered dog
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
• I walk well on lead
• Happy to hang out with other friendly dogs
• Social butterfly
• Well mannered
• Love to snooze on the couch

Where I need to improve / Training required
• I love my food & toys so using them as a positive reward should make my training easier.
• I am social with other friendly dogs however I will react if they are too full on or reactive to me, further socialisation is recommended.
Extras
• I am a little on the chonky side and would benefit from losing some weight
