Tank is a 5 year old Rottweiler in Washington, DC, who needs $1,900 for Diagnostic and Medication.

Tank came into my life after I lost my first child he was born March 30 2021 and his strength inspired his name. Though he was meant for my ex-fiancé, after our separation on March 2025, my ex refused to care for him and threatened a kill shelter. I took full responsibility, despite limited resources, because abandoning him was never an option.

On August 24th, Tank suddenly fell ill vomiting nonstop and passing blood. His condition briefly improved, then declined again, leaving him weak with uncontrollable diarrhea. Vets believe something internal is wrong and estimate costs over $3,000 for tests and treatment. As a full-time student living with my parents, I cannot afford this urgent, life-or-death care.

Tank is truly my baby, my goofy, happy shadow who mirrors my personality. He’s never without a smile and brings pure joy everywhere he goes. Despite the reputation Rottweilers sometimes have, Tank has changed hearts, showing people how loving he is. He’s turned fear into love for so many. I know I’ll never meet another dog like him he’s one of a kind.

I’m fighting hard to keep Tank with me. Losing him now, the same month I lost my child, would break me. After my fiancé left, I’ve been working to rebuild my life. God knows I need him, Tank is my strength, my healing, my family. I just want to give him the care he needs.
