Tank is healing wonderfully in his foster home, and he’s still the sweetest boy ever.

A couple of weeks ago, Tank was found alone and limping outside a home in North Las Vegas.

He had a fractured tibia from some type of high-impact trauma. He may have been hit by a car.

Tank went to Las Vegas Veterinary Specialty Center for emergency surgery and he’s now recovering in his wonderful foster home.

We’re told he’s being crate trained, and he’s already learned how to sit on command.

Tank was found alone and limping outside a home in North Las Vegas.

He was hungry, weak and in pain.

A Good Samaritan immediately noticed something was wrong with Tank’s back leg, so he called out for him.

Tank could have walked away, but instead, he trusted this person would help him.

Even once Animal Control showed up, Tank remained sweet and trusting as officers rushed him to The Animal Foundation.

Our veterinary team immediately examined Tank, treated his pain with medication and performed x-rays on his leg.

X-rays show Tank has a fractured tibia from some type of high-impact trauma. He may have been hit by a car. He will need to go to a specialist today for emergency surgery.

His eyes may look worried, but his tail isn't ready to quit. It still wags anytime someone walks by his kennel.
