TANK, a 13-year-old Lhasa Apso

shelter because his owner didn’t
have enough time for him. Tank
has primarily been an indoor dog
and would love a similar situation.
He walks on leash and is very
friendly, getting along well with
other dogs and cats. Tank can be
a little nervous in new situations
and may take some time to warm
up; but just give this boy a chance
and he’ll be your new best friend!
