About Hank

Hank is an 8-year-old Chiweenie who brings so much personality despite his recent challenges. Weighing in at about 10 lbs, he's a mix of bicolor, apricot, and black that adds charm to his short coat. Recently, he had a few teeth removed and needed stitches, but luckily, his mouth has healed well. A vet visit uncovered that Hank has dry eye in his right eye, likely due to his previous environment. He’s on medication that will be provided with him, ensuring a smooth transition to his new home. Hank is a total love bug and enjoys following his humans around, always looking for affection. He hasn't been house trained just yet, so some guidance in that area would help him flourish in a new environment. If you're interested in learning more about Hank, feel free to reach out! Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
