ADOPTABLE DOG OF THE WEEK: Say Hello to TANK! 🐶 

This week we are introducing you to TANK, a handsome big ol' lug at 85 lbs. who’s sweet & gentle and 5 yrs young. He's a happy guy that's eager to please, loves car rides, attention, and playing in water. Since Tank is a large dog, they recommend a home with a fenced yard and/or plans for daily exercise and socialization. Tank is neutered, heart worm negative, current on shots, rabies shot, and has a registered microchip. If you have room in your heart 🩷 and your home 🏡 and you’d like to adopt this amazing pup, please fill out an adoption application at www.amazinggracebullyrescue.org If you have any questions, please text your question to 850-723-2037.
