Tango

Meet Tango! An 8 year old handsome, liver roan German Shorthaired Pointer! 

Tango, found himself in a shelter for nearly a week, a victim of someone else's carelessness. Thankfully with the help of the California GSP Rescue, Tango hitched a ride with one of our volunteers for a new life, and one step closer to his forever home.

Tango is a big sweet boy with a gentle demeanor who is more interested in being by your side whether it be on a walk or chilling inside getting scratches and cuddles, rather than running around the play yard with the other dogs. He has done well with the other dogs, but prefers to just follow you around and explore his surroundings.

He is good on a leash, not a big puller. He seems to love water, and sometimes naps in the baby pool and enjoys laying in the sun.

At 8 years old, Tango doesn’t have the exuberant energy of a young GSP, but rather a more mellow gentleman who would enjoy a daily walk, and getting attention and affection from his people.

Tango is very treat motivated, which makes teaching him the basic commands easier.
