A volunteer writes: Tank! This guy is so sweet you’ll want to kiss each and every little spot on his ears. He is SUPER wiggly and seems to laugh in the face of “middle-age” — he is really almost puppylike! He’s super treat motivated, has been around children (but might need to work on his size-awareness), and is very friendly and outgoing when meeting new people (really, I felt like we were BFFs instantly). Tank has previously been used as a stud and will need to work on his dog socialization, but we’re told he wants to play with cats! He loves going out on walks (he hasn’t pulled much with me and seems housebroken), will make himself at home on my lap (and give kisses!), and just radiates positive vibes. Tank might treat everyone like a BFF, but I’m sure he has amazingly special love reserved for his person…please come see him at Brooklyn ACC and see if that might be you!
