About Hawke

Meet Hawke—a gentle soul learning what it means to be safe and cared for. This resilient, large mixed-breed dog has made remarkable strides after being abandoned and injured; the shoulder wound is healed, bullet fragments removed, and he's rediscovering trust. Hawke is still cautious with new people, but those who earn his trust see a loving companion who adores giving kisses, finds joy in being around other dogs, and lights up at mealtime. Hawke’s curiosity and confidence blossom daily. Early on, he tried to sleep outside, but now he enjoys being indoors and is eager about each new experience. He’s quickly picked up "sit" and "shake," showing how treat-motivated and eager to learn he is. Potty-trained and calm on a leash, Hawke doesn’t need crating and is working on building confidence around strangers. A calm, patient adopter will help him thrive. He’ll do well in a peaceful, gentle home—another friendly dog is a bonus but not required. Every day, Hawke sheds more of his old fears. This tender boy is ready for his second chance—and hoping to find it with you. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
