Tank deserved better from the start. But thanks to you, he's gotten the medical attention and compassion he should have had all along.
Tank is safe now. Thank you for showing up for animals who have nowhere else to turn.

Giant breed dogs like Tank require specialized care, especially as they grow. Left untreated, orthopedic issues cause chronic pain and significantly impact their quality of life.

This sweet boy had been suffering, too long. Yet when our team handled him, he allowed every examination without complaint. Despite everything, Tank remained gentle and trusting.
We see this too often - animals whose medical needs go unaddressed until they become emergent.

Tank was thin - too thin for a growing Great Dane. He had pressure sores on his hind legs. His back legs splayed outward with every step, his hocks dropped low to the ground.
His hips and knees showed signs of severe orthopedic problems that had gone untreated. He was also partially deaf.
