My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Tango is a 5-year-old, 61-pound blockheaded bundle of love whose big bowling-ball head and even bigger heart instantly win people over. From the moment he steps out of his kennel—calm, easy, and ready to go—it’s clear this boy is something special.
Tango seems to be housetrained and goes potty right away when he gets outside. On leash, he starts off strong but settles into moderate pulling once he gets into his groove. He needs a little boost into the car and can be a bit anxious during rides, but he settles with gentle pets and treats. Once the door opens, he’s eager to hop out and get moving—so a tether is a must!
During playtime, Tango loves to explore and run around. He’s a big fan of toys, though soft ones don’t last long with him—supervision is recommended! Food and treats are his greatest motivators (and weaknesses), so be prepared for some adorable begging. He knows “sit,” though his patience for holding it isn’t exactly his strong suit.
Tango’s affectionate personality shines through in everything he does. He’s wiggly, loves attention, and is especially fond of face kisses—because of his enthusiasm, he’d do best in a home without small kids he could accidentally knock over. He’s also a total champ for his bath, showing just how good-natured he is.
Tango is looking for a family who embraces his goofy charm, continues his training, and enjoys plenty of cuddles and adventures together. With his affectionate spirit and joyful energy, he’s ready to fill your home with love and laughter.
As always, we strongly recommend that resident dogs meet any new potential canine family members. If bringing a resident dog for a dog to dog test, please bring proof of Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines.
To meet your new pet, come to Guilford County Animal Services between 12 and 4 any day except Tuesday!
