My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

TANK IS LOOKING FOR A VERY SPECIAL ADOPTER THAT MATCHES THE CRITERIA OUTLINED BELOW

Tank is a senior terrier mix breed who is looking for a very specific home. Ideally we would place Tank with a single male in a quiet home who is home a lot or can take Tank with him. We think that Tank would love to be a great sidekick for someone who lives in the country and putters - gardening, workshop, maintenance work. If there is more than one person in the home, everyone will need to reinforce a consistent structure and discipline for Tank, otherwise he may slip into bad behaviours. We will not place Tank in a home with dogs or cats or with children or frequent young visitors. Tank would thrive in a quiet calm home with no or very few visitors and with a fully fenced yard. If Tank's adopters had a good understanding of how to manage a dog who resource guards that would be a significant plus for everyone!
· Live in a quiet neighbourhood with someone who is home more than not
· Home with a fully fenced yard
· Single person or a couple that will reinforce consistent structure for Tank
· Experienced owner with resource guarding experience an asset
· No other pets, no children and few visitors in the home

Tank should improve with a person who is prepared to continue working with him on his behaviour quirks. Right now Tank is living in a training facility in the Peterborough area. Potential adopters for Tank should expect to visit him a few times at this facility before taking him home and his current trainer will assist with training knowledge transfer.

If you are interested in adopting Tank please read his complete profile on the Special Dog page of our website and submit a Special Dog adoption form.

If you have questions about our adoption process or Tank please email his adoption coordinator at: suejp.ehs@gmail.com
