About Hank

Meet Hank the Tank! Hank, a handsome Standard Dachshund, needed a fresh start, and his new name reflects just that. With his rich chocolate coat and soulful amber eyes, Hank is truly a heartbreaker. His journey has had its ups and downs. He originally came from the South Los Angeles shelter and had a brief adoption that didn’t suit him.

Currently, he's settling into a caring foster home in Calabasas where he can relax and start to show his true personality. He's on the lookout for a patient and understanding family that will give him the stability and kindness he deserves. Hank gets along well with cats, dogs, and children, making him a great addition to a loving home. Here’s to Hank the Tank and the bright future that lies ahead! What are you waiting for?
