About Hank
Hank is a lively mixed breed pup with a good dose of shepherd, lab, and maybe a little husky in the mix — especially if you go by his curly tail that tightens into a corkscrew when he's happy. He had a close call at a high-volume shelter but is now all clear with a clean bill of health and is learning what life in a home should feel like. Hank thrives on activity; he wants a home where he'll get daily walks, hikes, or runs. Rope toys and squeaky balls keep him entertained, and he's picked up basic commands and house training quickly. Hank gets very excited around other dogs on leash — likely from too much time isolated after the shelter — so he’ll need ongoing support and careful introductions before dog parks or group walks. He isn’t a fit for homes with small kids, and he’s not looking for a cat roommate either. If you want a highly active, smart, affectionate partner who’s eager to stick by your side and keep things moving, Hank’s ready to meet you. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
