About Hanko

Hanko is a 4-year-old Chow mix ready for a new home. She arrived at the shelter after being surrendered and weighs 56.1 pounds. This lovely lady is kennel-trained and housebroken, and she knows how to sit on command, which is a great start for training sessions. Though she has a shy demeanor initially, Hanko warms up nicely with some positive reinforcement and treats. She does have a few quirky habits, like rummaging through the trash and jumping on counters, which can be managed with supervision. Given her tendency to be a bit of a runner, it’s essential to keep her secured on a leash or a tie-out when outside, especially if there's a fenced yard involved. While her experience with kids and other pets isn’t fully known, she has cohabited with other dogs before. Hanko also had a previous ear infection that’s been treated, so keeping an eye on her ears in her new home can help maintain her health. If you think Hanko could be the perfect fit for you, reach out to meet her!
