About Hank

Hank is a young hound with moderate energy who thrives in the company of both men and women. He enjoys walks and generally does well on a leash, though he may pull a bit. Hank has a soft spot for treats and takes them gently, so it's best to offer them with a flat hand. He’s handler-focused and prefers the company of people over toys or playtime. While he’s learned to sit on command, he might need a little encouragement to get there. Although he’s a bit apprehensive about doorways, he maintains a positive attitude with other dogs during walks. It seems he is potty trained too. Hank is currently at Robertson County Animal Control in Springfield, TN. This loving dog is looking for a new home where he can feel safe and supported. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
