Tank
Hello, my name is Tank. My animal id is #19810. I am a male black dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 1 years 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 02-Feb-2018, with the surrender reason stated as person circumstance- homeless.
Tank is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Infection Respiratory Disease Complex and will likely require home rest and a series of antibiotics for up to 14 days. This is a contagious illness to other dogs. Tank is suitable to go to an Average home.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: If you ask me, Tank is the cutest and most endearing guy around. His mushy face reminds me of a claymation character, and he is SO wiggly when I approach his cage I can almost see the floor shaking beneath his paws! He comes to us due to housing issues, and his former owner confirms that he loves meeting new people and is an all around good boy! He was relaxed and playful with the resident cat, is reported to be housebroken, and he’s even cooperative for nail trims and baths. He tends to jump up for attention, but has otherwise been very easy to handle on our walks. He has a lot of energy, but toys are the perfect outlet for it: he throws stuffies for himself and sprawls out like a frog with tennis balls. He is completely engaging, gives kisses generously, and thinks every lap is just the right size. He’d make a great wing man and an even better best friend…please come meet him at Brooklyn ACC!
My medical notes are…
Weight: 57.8 lbs
