About Tango

Tango is one of four labby babies who came to us from a loud, overcrowded shelter where everything felt scary. The barking, the concrete, the chaos, and the constant movement caused them to shut down, a common reaction for sensitive puppies in shelter environments. Now that they're safe, things are slowly changing. They are still timid with new people and new environments, but each day they take another brave step forward. Soft voices, slow movements, gentle hands, and calm routines have helped them discover toys, treats, and the comfort of being held. They are learning that humans can be safe, predictable, and kind. These puppies are sweet, gentle, and deeply sensitive, and they will absolutely blossom in the right home. They may be shy at first, but once they trust you, they melt into your arms and show you the softest, sweetest love.

Ideal Home

Tango needs a patient adopter who understands shy puppies and can provide slow introductions to new experiences. A calm home without overwhelming chaos is essential. While another friendly dog is a bonus, it's not required. A fenced-in backyard is a must.

Ongoing Health

Tango is up to date on vaccines and is microchipped. They will not be neutered before adoption. Adopters will sign a spay/neuter agreement and may qualify for a $100 spay/neuter rebate once the procedure is completed.

Training & Support

Tango will benefit from time, reassurance, and positive guidance. They currently use a pet door in their foster home for potty breaks, which helps them understand that potty happens outdoors. When Tango cannot be watched or no one is home, they are kept in a baby-gated area off the kitchen. No crating for puppies; use a puppy pen or baby gate for safe confinement.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
