About Hank
Hank is a two-year-old, neutered male Basset/Lab mix with a big, gentle presence. At 62 lbs, he’s solid but calm—more likely to flop across your couch than bounce through your living room. Hank is housebroken and responds reliably to important commands, picking up routines quickly. He’s quiet indoors, content to lounge or nap, but loves a good chew toy when awake. Guests should know: Hank is slow to warm up, especially with men, and is most comfortable with women or in a household where at least one woman is present. With time, he gets attached and turns into a devoted cuddle buddy. Outdoors, busy city life can spook him, so he’d thrive in a quieter neighborhood or the suburbs. Hank gets along with dogs and is fine with being left alone. He could adjust to older children (12+), provided they respect his space. Leash walks are easy with Hank—he strolls, doesn’t pull, and enjoys his post-walk belly rubs. Hank is crate-trained and fully vaccinated. He’s foster-to-adopt eligible. Start your journey together!
