About Courtesy listing Hank

Meet Hank, a loving 3-year-old Border Collie mix looking for his forever home. This spirited dog has endured a tough past but is now blossoming into a wonderful companion. Recently, an influx of activity with a new baby has made his environment overwhelming, prompting the search for a new family who can appreciate him fully. Hank is a champion indoors—fully potty-trained and always a gentle presence. He loves snuggling up at night, whether beside you in bed or curled up in his own cozy spot. Outdoors, he's an adventurer at heart, enjoying trails and dog parks. He’s great with other dogs, often indifferent to them, but he definitely warms up to Golden Retrievers. Understanding Hank’s background is important. He thrives best in an adult-only home or one with older, respectful teenagers due to his nervousness around small children. He also cannot be placed in homes with cats or small pets, although he might manage well with securely fenced chickens. Hank has a mild hearing impairment and some vision challenges that can startle him, requiring a patient and understanding owner. His happiness hinges on regular exercise and a stable routine; he truly flourishes with daily walks or runs. Despite his challenges, Hank’s affectionate nature shines through when he feels safe and secure. A special person or family is needed to help Hank reach his full potential and give him the love he so deeply deserves. He has plenty of love to offer in return. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
