Story
Meet Tank, a 3-year-old (DOB: 5/28/21) beautiful boy! He is 50% American Pit Bull Terrier, 22.5% Gray Wolf, 11.3% Alaskan Malamute, 8.3% German Shepherd, and 7.9% Siberian Husky.
He is up to date on all his shots, is on a heartworm preventative, and currently weighs 60 pounds. We’ve had him since he was 3 months old, and he is good with other dogs but has never been around a cat. He is good with family and children. I would describe Tank as a Velcro dog in that he will always be by your side, most likely sitting on your foot. If you move from one place to the next, he will always follow.
Tank is housetrained and crate trained. When he needs to go out, he will tell you with a fierce stare down, or he will nudge you if you don’t notice the stare down until you pay attention and take him out. While he is crate trained, he will typically go to bed on the floor in the bedroom. However, in the morning he is always found in the bed. When it’s time to leave, all you need to do is say “crate” and he will go in there for the duration.
I do not have a fenced-in yard and that has not presented any issues as Tank doesn’t like to be left alone. He did live with us for a short period with a fenced in yard, but he really didn’t want to spend time in the yard as he wanted to come in shortly after being let out.
I am looking to rehome Tank because while he is such a sweet boy, he needs someone with more patience and strength than I have. He is presently on doggie Prozac because many things make him nervous and he is high anxiety. People hear and see Tank and they most likely get nervous. But, Tank is more afraid of everyone than they realize. He barked at my female neighbor and her daughter, but because she loves dogs she wanted to come see him. Tank took off running up the stairs because they scared him. He is afraid of garbage cans on garbage days. He is afraid of boxes. He is afraid of sudden moves. He is afraid of things that are held in your hand if he has not seen it before. He will run away with his tail tucked. He seems to be more timid of men rather than women. I have been pulled up/down the stairs outside because something scared him.
Tank is definitely a chewer when it comes to toys. We have the power chewer BarkBox because fluffy toys and Tank do not mix. He likes car rides but will drool up a storm in the back seat. He loves belly rubs and overall family attention. He does shed, so you will have to deal with the hair clean up. If you would like to meet this dog please call Teri at 630-897-7454. The adoption fee is $150.
