He thrives around people and wants to be part of everything you do. If you’re in the kitchen, he’s by your feet. Out in the yard, he’s close behind. On the couch, he’ll be leaning against your leg, content just to be near. He’s still a baby but Hank already does loyalty right. He lives for affection and the comfort of good company. No matter what’s going on, he’ll be there, tail wagging and grateful for the second chance. Now fully recovered and learning what real care feels like, Hank is ready for a family who values him as much as he’ll value them. He gets along with other dogs, cats, and children—just wants a place to belong. Could Hank be the missing puzzle piece at your house? Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
