My story

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

Meet Tank 💛

Tank's journey hasn't been easy, but his heart is pure gold. This seven- to eight-year-old Black Mouth Cur/Shepherd mix was owner-surrendered at Animal Control and left behind just as his golden years were upon him. What kind of owner would ever do such a thing? He quickly became urgent, and luckily we were able to step in and save him in April of 2025, just in time.

When he arrived, he was skin and bones—emaciated and exhausted—but with love and care, he’s been gaining weight and blossoming. Now, he’s finally ready for a forever family who will love him the way he’s always deserved.

Tank is the definition of a gentle soul. He’s dog-friendly with all sizes, kid-friendly, and simply wants to be near his people. He spends most of his days lounging around happily, but every now and then he’ll surprise you with a playful burst of energy, especially when he gets to romp with his doggy friends. He’s crate-trained, housebroken, and such an easy, loving companion.

Like many seniors, Tank has a few quirks. He’s terrified of storms and will need comfort and reassurance during them—he’d much prefer snuggling up close to his person when thunder rolls. He’s also a bit of an escape artist with no street smarts, so a secure fenced yard is a must. Don’t let his calm demeanor fool you—he’s strong, so he’ll do best with someone steady on their feet.

Despite the hard times he’s lived through, Tank is still so full of love and hope. He just wants a soft bed, gentle hands, and a family to call his own for the rest of his days.

Could you be the one to give Tank the safe, loving forever home he’s been waiting for? 💛

More about this rescue

Journey's Legacy is a small rescue in Cleveland, TN. We save dogs from the local shelter, off the streets, and occasionally owner surrenders if there is room or an urgent need. We have dogs in foster homes, boarding facilities, and the ranch. We specialize in medium to large breed dogs. We are working hard to get laws to change to require pet owners to spay and neuter their pets to stop the overpopulation of animals.
