About Hank

Hank came to us with a heartbreaking backstory. When humane agents found him lying motionless in a neglected yard, even the person who called his case wasn't sure he was alive. Hank was dangerously underweight, but the previous owner insisted he was cared for—there was no way we were leaving him behind. He now pays it back with every sweet moment: his kisses are legendary, and he's eager to please, especially when treats are involved. Some of that food motivation lingers from the tough days, but it also means he's easy to reward for good behavior. Hank is housetrained and seems to have picked up a few commands. He gets far too worked up by cats, so a home without them is necessary. He'd probably do fine with a calm, submissive female dog. Kids are no problem for Hank—he's got a gentle streak and deserves every bit of love that comes his way. If you want a loyal, grateful buddy with a big heart, Hank is your guy. Your new best friend is just one click away.
