My story

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

Meet Tango is a 2.5-year-old, 78-pound sweetheart with a whole lot of love to give. He truly enjoys spending time with his people and thrives on calm companionship. While Tango can be a little anxious at times, patience, reassurance, and consistency help him feel safe and confident.

From his past experience, Tango has shown he can live with cats under supervision. His curiosity may occasionally get the best of him, but he’s learning and responds well to guidance. He does great with adults and would flourish in a quieter home where his boundaries are respected. Tango prefers a home without young children, as he’s most comfortable in a peaceful environment with predictable routines and gentle interactions.

One of Tango’s most endearing traits? He comes with his very own emotional support ball—and yes, they’re a package deal! This special toy brings him comfort and joy and is a big part of what makes Tango uniquely himself. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a little extra character and a lot of heart, Tango might just be your perfect match.

More about this shelter

The mission of Better Together Animal Alliance, formerly Panhandle Animal Shelter, is to create and support meaningful connections by enhancing the lives of dogs, cats, and the people in our community who love them.

Better Together Animal Alliance serves the Inland Northwest and its primary goal is to keep pets and families together. This is achieved by supporting pet owners using best practice programs and by supporting both sides of the human-animal bond in a friendly and non-judgmental way. Better Together Animal Alliance's owner support programs help pet owners take care of their pets, preventing the need to surrender them to the animal care facility. Programs include a pet food bank, a help line, Pets for Life, Home To Home, Temporary Loving Care, and Trap-Neuter-Return services for community cats. Of the animals served annually, only 1/3 ever enter the animal care facility and most are cared for in their homes or through community-based programs.

When an animal needs a safe place to stay until they find a new home, they are cared for at the animal care facility where cats live cage-free in a stimulating and spacious cat haven and dogs enjoy the benefits of being out of their kennels walking or playing several times a day.

Better Together Animal Alliance is the founder of Home To Home, an online pet rehoming tool for animal shelters. The program is used in by shelters and rescues across the United States and Canada and helps pets find new homes without ever entering an animal shelter.
