Meet Hank. He's a gorgeous mix of Mountain Cur and Labrador Retriever, with a strong head, short yellow-tan coat, and a sturdy, athletic build. Hank is looking for a real bond with his person and wants to be a true pack member. He gets along nicely with other dogs and loves their company. His temperament is easy-going and calm, especially once he's away from the stress of the shelter. Hank lights up when he gets attention and takes great comfort in knowing he matters to those around him. Hank is young—likely a year or two old—and brings the energy and curiosity that come with his age, but also showcases maturity. He thrives on guidance and needs an adopter experienced with dogs to help shape his tremendous potential. He does well in an active household and will need plenty of exercise. Without structure, this smart boy will invent his own entertainment, so regular activity and training are important. Hank is a climber who needs a securely fenced yard and supervision during play; he will find a way out if left unmonitored. He seems housetrained and is friendly with both adults and children. If you want a devoted, spirited companion you can shape into the best version of himself, Hank could be exactly the right fit. He's ready to give back the loyalty and love he receives. We're still getting to know him, but Hank already shows he’s an exceptional dog deserving of a second chance. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
