🌟 Tab 🌟

Our boy Tab is the gentlest giant of them all. This 2.5-year-old, 100+ pound mixed breed is large, in charge, and full of love, making him the definition of a big softie. He may get a little excited when meeting new friends, but he’s incredibly polite and just happy to be part of the fun.

Tab is smart as a whip and already knows how to sit, lay down, and shake! He’s very treat motivated and eager to keep learning. He also loves the water and doesn’t mind getting a good scrub from his people. When he’s not showing off his skills, he enjoys lounging independently, especially if there’s a sunny spot where he can stretch out and soak it all in.

Because of his size and smarts, Tab would do best in a calm, adult home without small children. He’d love to be your one and only, though he can do well with puppies given the right introduction. His adoption is also SPONSORED, making his adoption fee free!

Come meet this lovable giant at the Athens Area Humane Society! Our adoption center is open 9AM - 6PM, Wednesday through Monday (closed on Tuesdays). If you’re interested in adopting, visit our website at www.athenshumanesociety.org and check out our “Adoptable Pets” page. If his photo is there, he’s ready to meet you! If not, he’s already off on his next adventure. 🏡
