My personality

My story

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

Tank was found as a stray and is settling in well at the shelter. He’s a beautiful 1 ½ year old, 61 pound boy with gorgeous eyes of two different colors. He’s a playful and energetic guy who loves going on walks and is already doing well with his leash training. He hasn’t come nose to nose with another dog in a temperament test, but he walked alongside our other shelter dog, Minnie, and they both did very well. They both stayed relaxed, with tails wagging, and didn’t really pay much attention to each other. He has also shown no aggression towards his kennel mates through the chain link. He was however in a dog fight with another of the shelter dogs. He didn’t seem to be the aggressor, and it was with Titus who had already shown dislike and aggressiveness towards him through the chainlink. Titus has gotten along with every other dog, but he didn’t like Tank for some reason. They ended up getting walked by some less experienced volunteers who ended up walking those two at the same time without keeping enough distance between them. Nobody was injured and they were able to break them up and he’s been his friendly self ever since. Unfortunately Tank has tested positive for Lyme Disease, but he’s still a happy guy who isn’t showing any negative side effects. He would love to find the perfect family to give him a chance.

More about this shelter

WHO WE ARE...We are a county shelter with one full time Animal Control Officer and a group of very dedicated volunteers called the Wabash County Animal Shelter Buddies (WCASB). Wabash County Animal Shelter is licensed by the State of Illinois Department of Agriculture. WCASB is 501c3.
