My name is Tango!

Sex: Male

Breed: Pit Bull Terrier

Estimated Date of Birth : 11/12/2022

Big, beautiful and so misunderstood. His black coat and breed meant he never stood a chance in our overcrowded shelter system but Tango had a guardian angel. An amazing family who’s fostered him for the last 10 months. He’s learned to be a wonderful house dog but has still struggled to find his adoptive home. Black pitties always seem to struggle. He needed our help and with such a dedicated family backing him how could we say no?

Tango originally came into Kern County Animal Services as a stray. He completed his stray hold and after lingering at the shelter for 2 months with no interest went into foster care. That’s where this sweet boy has continued to linger for almost a year. No adoption interest and no rescue help. He needed the help and visibility we could give him so Tango is finally getting his chance! He’ll remain with his amazing foster family while he searches for a forever home but will be backed by us and have all the time rescue gives these dogs to find the right family. Now it’s time to showcase all the good this big boy will bring to an adoptive home.

Tango is both house and crate trained. He’s chill in the house but still knows how to play and have lots of fun. He’s learned all sorts of basic obedience skills and listens really well. Fetch and zoomies are his favorite. He gives the best kisses ever!!! He’s very dog friendly with the appropriate slow introductions and has done well with dogs of all sizes and ages. He’s food motivated which makes training a breeze. He’s working on his leash manners and with a little more time and dedication we know he’ll master those as well. Tango is the whole package we just have to find him that family he’s waited so long for. If you’ve been looking for a fantastic big boy (he’s 87lbs) please consider giving Tango his perfect forever home!
