In Loving Memory of Tank ❤️

🌞 A Survivor, A Gentle Soul, Forever Loved 🐾

Tank, a grey and white pitbull whose life was a testament to resilience and love, passed peacefully surrounded by people who cherished him. His journey from neglect to deep, unconditional love changed hearts—and reminded us all of what’s possible when a soul is given a second chance.

Abandoned by his owners at age 4, Tank spent the next four years of his life chained outside, without shelter, companionship, or care. He nearly froze one winter, burned himself on a heat lamp trying to stay warm, leaving him scarred all over. He lived in a constant state of overstimulation and isolation. When he was finally rescued, he had a long road ahead—but he never gave up.

At first, Tank struggled. The world was overwhelming. He was reactive with other animals, but with patience, love, and stability, Tank began to heal. And in time, he didn’t just improve—he blossomed.

He made incredible strides in his rehabilitation, growing into a calm, trusting, and affectionate companion. To everyone’s joy, he even made friends with other dogs—big and small—and eventually, even cats. His transformation was nothing short of remarkable, and it stood as a powerful reminder that no soul is ever too broken to heal.

In his final chapter, Tank was spoiled beyond measure. He spent his days basking in the sun, receiving endless cuddles, and welcoming visitors from everyone who loved him. He feasted like a king on burgers, fries, chicken nuggets, and ice cream—and, in his final moments, enjoyed a cupcake and a generous helping of the much-celebrated human snack, “puppychow.”

He passed peacefully, full of love and full of snacks, surrounded by those who adored him. He left this world the way all dogs should: unchained, unafraid, and completely at peace.

Tank’s story is one of survival, transformation, and the extraordinary power of a second chance. Though his body is gone, his legacy will live on in every dog who is given another shot at love, and in every person he inspired to look beyond a dog’s past and into their heart.

Run free, Tank. The sun will always shine a little brighter because of you. 🐾

One of our volunteers was driving back from Walla Walla today and stopped in Wallula. This pretty pup was wondering around lost. They asked the neighbors if they had seen this pup before but nobody recognized this gorgeous dog! They decided to bring the pup to us to scan for a chip and there’s no chip! This pup seems to have had a collar and has incredibly good manners. Isn’t food motivated and doesn’t respond to commands in English, Spanish, or German. Also doesn’t respond to hand commands. If you recognize this pup please let us know!!

Our volunteer is also heading to Seattle for 5 days and will need a short term foster to look after this pup until they return. If your are willing to open your home to a wonderfully behaved pup for a few days please let us know!!

Sauce is our resident kitty. He is friendly with dogs and kittens but doesn’t tolerate adults cats very well. He helps us in testing dogs if they are cat friendly or not and he’s a great foster friend for kittens. He’s about 7-8 years old but he does it fair share to help us out! Without him, we may not have been able to rehome as many dogs as we have so far!

Sir Sauce A Lot saw the vet today and needed a little more care than we were expecting. We are asking for donations towards his vet bill. Sauce had an ear infection, hematoma of his ear, a bad tooth and a broken toe nail that needed vet care. Donations can be made directly to the vet or via our linktree.

🐾Please provide as much information as possible. This is to help us get your pet back to you as soon as possible.

If your pet is ever picked up as a stray and the microchip is NOT registered, you are only given 7 days to find your pet in a shelter. That is what Michigan State Law requires.

The more contact information animal shelters have, the more chances we have to reunite your pet with you.

Thank you for working with us to keep your pet safe!
