About Hank

Hank is a nearly 4-year-old sweet boy brimming with affection, just waiting for the right family to share his love with. He interacts well with other dogs and has proven to be harmless around chickens. While he can be around cats, a slow introduction is crucial, as he tends to chase and play a bit too roughly for some. Hank is housebroken and does wonderfully when left alone, making him an ideal fit for a family seeking a dog that appreciates some independence. He would thrive best in a household with slightly older children who respect his space and know how to engage with him. Although car rides aren't his favorite—he might bark at passing vehicles—Hank is content when he's with his people. He enjoys regular grooming every six weeks, which keeps him looking sharp. This handsome guy is ready to find a loving forever home filled with the care and attention he deserves. Your journey together can start today!
