Pit Bull Terrier and Dachshund Dogs Available for Adoption in Franklin, Indiana

Meet Tank!

A 34lb, 2-year-old, Doxy/APBT mix who was surrendered to the shelter alongside his brother, Jasper, when their previous owner could no longer keep up with a consistent bathroom schedule, which led to accidents in the home. Since arriving here, Tank has kept his kennel clean, showing that he likely has a solid foundation in house training and just needs a stable routine to thrive.

He’s a playful pup with medium to high energy, so he’d thrive in a home that can keep up with his zest for life—whether that’s walks, playtime in the yard, or fun adventures together. Tank also gets along well with other dogs, making him a great candidate for a multi-dog household.

If you’re looking for a playful, social, and affectionate dog who’s ready to be your adventure buddy, Tank might just be your perfect match.
