Meet Hank! 🌟 This gentle soul has traveled quite an emotional journey. When he first arrived, he was like a little hidden treasure, curling into a tight ball in the corner of his kennel, hoping the world wouldn’t notice him. But those days of hiding are fading away! Now, with bright, hopeful eyes, he approaches his world with cautious curiosity. It's an absolute delight when he gathers the courage to lean in for a gentle kiss. Ah, just imagine the joy in that little act! 💕 When it’s playtime, oh, the excitement that lights up Hank! 🎉 The second he hears it’s time to venture outside, you can almost see the spark in his eyes! Out in the yard, he moves with a whisper, creeping up, eager to connect, taking a little sniff, perhaps sharing a soft kiss, and then gracefully choosing a comfortable distance. This isn’t avoidance; it’s a lovely pup who craves connection but is still learning about trust. Hank has shown no aggression—just a tender need for patience and understanding. What Hank truly needs is a warm-hearted home that recognizes that healing takes time, sometimes longer than a calendar can measure. He flourishes best in a calm environment filled with gentle souls who will shower him with unconditional love. 🥰 Hank is currently up to date on his dapp and bordetella vaccines. His adoption fee not only covers his neutering but also a rabies vaccine and a microchip, ensuring he’s all set for a lovely new chapter!

You won't just be adopting a dog; you’ll be gaining a loyal friend eager to blossom into the companion he was always meant to be! 🐾
