About Tank
Tank is a 14 yo foxy cross. Friendly desexed and a little overweight
He is in his second home and is now being surrendered as his owner has now lost her sight and unable to care for him.
Tank is a delightful, charming, little old man with lovely manners. A chubby 14 year-old foxy cross. He loves going for a walk and has recently he has been able to lose some weight (2kgs over 2 months) whilst in foster care with careful diet and increased exercise. His mobility has improved with injections for arthritis and he thrives on regular short walks a day. 15minutes at a time is good for him and his energy levels.
Tank is a very popular chap wherever he goes because he is so friendly and welcoming of everyone, human or dog. He is used to living with other animals including cats and likes being part of the group. He can be left alone without suffering anxiety but he does enjoy company so would be better with people working from home or part time.
An elderly boy, Tank suffers from leaky incontinence. He will go to the toilet when outside but does suffer from urine incontinence. We have sought vet advice and medication has not helped this condition, so it needs to be managed with patience and kindness. Tank is able to live in an apartment provided there is a good outside area where he can toilet if needed. But he would probably be better off in a house with easily washed floors and an outside area where he can spend time when the weather suits. He might also benefit from wearing belly bands/wraps to catch the drips when inside as he currently does.
Tank is great around children putting up with hugs and will not react if you put your hand in his food bowl ( Though this is never recommended with any dog)
Tank is such a good dog and needs a home with a caring family who will manage his health issues – keeping up his injections to manage the arthritis and being patient with his leaky incontinence. But these efforts will be well rewarded by the joy you get from this very good old boy. He deserves a loving home in his final years.
