About Hawk

Hawk came to us from a shelter in Alabama. Although we don't have much information about his past, he has acclimated well to foster care over the past few weeks. This lively pup enjoys playtime, walks, and spending quality time with people. He strikes a nice balance between energy and calm, making him adaptable to both play and relaxation. He gets along well with other dogs and is friendly with everyone he meets. In his foster home, he's done great with teenagers aged 16 and up. Although he hasn't been around younger children, his friendly nature suggests he could do well with respectful kids. Hawk has yet to encounter cats, so his behavior around them isn't known. As a young pup, Hawk is currently working on house training and crate training, along with learning to walk nicely on a leash. While he has made solid progress, occasional accidents do happen. A steady routine and regular potty breaks will aid him in developing good habits. His foster family reports he has no signs of separation anxiety or resource guarding and has traveled comfortably in a kennel. Hawk has a preference for toys, treats, and affection, which will help as he learns new skills. He needs a family willing to invest the time in puppy training and provide him with plenty of exercise and love. Hawk is eager to find a home where he can continue his journey of learning and growth, while enjoying all the fun of being part of a family. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
