About Hank

Hank is a 9-year-old boxer looking for a quiet retirement home to settle down. He’s lived most of his life as a loyal companion to one person and lost his longtime human not too long ago. Initially, Hank comes off reserved; trust isn’t given freely. He chooses his people and isn’t eager for new dog or cat friends. Once he relaxes, his playful boxer side peeks through, but you’ll mostly find him content on the couch, taking things easy. Leash walks aren’t his thing, probably because he spent years simply staying home. What works best is a fenced yard and a calm daily routine. Hank wants someone around to keep him company, yet he won’t demand more than a soft place to nap. He’s not a fit for homes with kids, other dogs, or cats. Ready to meet your new best friend?
