This week, ABC7 News spotlights Tank, a 3-year-old pocket bully, as their Pet of the Week. Tank, who is full of energy and affection, is currently at Raiden’s Haven, a rescue organization in Myakka City, Florida. Marsha Panuce, founder of Donte’s Den and host of ABC 7’s Animal Outtakes, introduced Tank to viewers, highlighting his playful nature and love for activities like chasing tennis balls and Frisbees. Tank also enjoys car rides and relaxing on the couch with his favorite people. He gets along well with cats and other dogs, especially those who match his size and energy level.

Tank’s journey to recovery has been challenging. He arrived at Raiden’s Haven severely underweight due to neglect. However, thanks to the dedicated care of the rescue team, Tank has made a remarkable recovery and is now healthy and happy.

Raiden’s Haven is a nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing abandoned, neglected, and homeless animals. They provide a second chance for pets like Tank to find loving forever homes. If you’re interested in adopting Tank or learning more about him, you can contact Raiden’s Haven at 941-539-4509. Additionally, you can watch Marsha Panuce’s Animal Outtakes show every Saturday at 10:30 a.m. on ABC7 Sarasota (WWSB) to learn about more amazing animals in need of homes.
