My story

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

Tank Henson is currently in RI and looking for a 'furever' home!   

Typical Chihuahua

Professional Lap Dog

Certified Heater 

Tank is a one-year-old, 10 lb very typical Chihuahua — if you love the breed, you already understand. Don’t let his sweet little face fool you, Tank is fully convinced he is, in fact, indestructible. When he’s not busy being brave, Tank’s favorite place in the world is curled up on your lap, keeping you warm like the best little heater you’ve ever had. Tank enjoys cozy pajamas, warm blankets, and lounging in comfort.

Snow? Hard pass. Spa days? Also a no. Comfort is king in Tank’s world.

Now for the important part: Tank has some past trauma and scarring from being attacked by a larger dog, and he copes by trying to act tougher than he is. Tank would do best with small dogs  around his size or would be fine as an only dog in the home.  Tank will do best with a Chihuahua-savvy adopter who appreciates a big attitude in a tiny body. If you love sassy little lap dogs with confidence for days and are ready to respect Tank for exactly who he is, he just might be your perfect match.

If you are interested in adopting this dog please complete the adoption application at www.rhodehomerescue.org/adoption-form to become a pre-approved adopter.
