About Hawk

Meet Hawk! This 7-month-old Pitbull mix is a wiggly, playful pup who came to the shelter after his owner could no longer care for him. He enjoys romping around with other dogs and loves playtime, especially chasing after balls—though he's still figuring out the whole retrieval concept. Hawk is eager to learn and would thrive with an experienced owner who can help him understand his place in the family. Having passed his behavioral assessment, he shows no signs of food or toy guarding, making him a great candidate for training. He'll do best in a home with children aged 16 and older. Hawk will be neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped before he leaves the shelter. Think you could be the one? Apply now!
