Tank - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Providence, Rhode Island

Meet Tank!
Fuel him up with a few snacks and a little pep talk and you'll get this boy going 60 miles an hour, bouncy, excited, and with the biggest smile on his face. Endurance isn't his thing, though, and soon he'll run empty and need a good long nap on the couch, preferably using his person as a self-heating pillow. Tank can be jumpy and excited at times when seeking attention so he'd do best in a teens+ home. He has previously lived with another dog and tended to play rough, if he were to go home with another dog they should be social, tolerant, and able to deescalate play if things get just a bit too wild and fun. Tank is a bundle of energy and fun but only until he crashes out on your lap and turns into a smushy sixty pound lap dog.
