Description
Posted Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Tank was born about August 4, 2023 and is one chunky lug head which will likely top out about 75-80 lbs.when full grown. We gave him his name shortly after arrival - it just suited him! He makes us laugh with his antics and really wonderful expressions so full of intelligence. Tank is having a blast with the other dogs and is very good with all of them. One of his favorite toys is a large jinglebell inside a ball. His second favorite toy is a purple dumbbell with a squeekie and he races around with a bunch of other little dogs chasing him - too cute! He was good on his almost an hour car ride here and does pretty well on leash. He ADORES us humans and usually is not far away from one of us. When the day is done he is very snuggly. This smart "little" man learned the dog door quickly and seems to be using it to potty, but some work in this area should be expected with all these changes and not knowing anything about his past. We feel Tank may have some Retrieve in him since his ears seem to be set a little lower on his head than most Pities and the fur on his back is long enough that there is some wave to it. Tank should be fine with kids if they are beyond the wobbley stage as he may knock a child down with his enthusiasm. In case you are not aware, even here in Western NY our humane societies and rescues are exploding at the seams with all the cats and dogs that are losing their home for one reason or another. The pandemic, and human behavior caused a drastic overpopulation problem everywhere in the USA. So, it's likely Tank's human was, for some reason, needing to find him a new home and denied admission by shelter after shelter until in desperation Tank's human tied him to a bench at a police station of a small town on a very cold night and there he was found the next morning by the newspaper lady. There was a camera, but it was too dark to make out the person who did this to him. He was left there most of the night and it was so cold that his puddle of urine was frozen! I would like to take this opportunity to express my feelings about the action of leaving your pet you can no longer care for some where reasonably safe for it to be found and rescued and taken to a shelter. In NYS and, I believe most states, if a dog is found and/or stray it is held for a certain number of days and then put up for adoption. It is law that the dog found/stray dog be reported to dog control/taken to a shelter. In our current drastic overpopulation problem where shelters are routinely turning down home owned dogs the dogs are then often abandoned in a variety of manners. Doing so in NYS is illegal. I feel.....that our laws should be changed that abandoning a dog in certain safe places should be acceptable no different than it is for a newborn human to be legally left in certain safe places. It hasn't been all that long since, out of whatever desperation, a new mother killed her newborn infant or left it to die in unsafe places/situations. The Adoption Fee for this dog is $500.00. Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability. In general our fees include spay/neuter, all age appropriate vaccines, Home Again micro-chipping & registration, worming & flea control - a "complete" pet. We accept CASH or Visa/Mastercard ONLY. Joyful Rescues has no funding except for our adoption fees and miscellaneous donations. Pet care and vet bills are expensive - you must be ready to take on this financial (as well as emotional) responsibility. YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 25 YEARS OF AGE TO ADOPT A DOG FROM JOYFUL RESCUES We keep our pet list as up-to-date as possible. As soon as a pet is adopted, it is removed from the list. If a pet is still showing, it is still available for adoption. Can't Adopt Me?
