Here's Your Quick Peek: We all love this dog here - but "we" are the staff and caregivers who know and live dogs constantly. We understand what a dog like Hanks wants and needs. It's not to be coddled. It's to be respected and partnered with. We want to be completely honest when it comes to Hank, because finding the right home for him matters more than anything. Hank is not the right fit for every household. He has been in the wrong home before and we won't do that to him again. But - in the right environment, he has the potential to be an incredibly loving and rewarding companion. Hank has bitten in the past, and because of this history he will not be placed in a home with children. He needs a calm, predictable, and permanently child-free household where routines are steady and expectations are clear. Hank is a young dog who still needs guidance and structure as he continues learning how to navigate life as a family pet. Please note, you will be his 3rd home. We think the third time is the charm. Must have: A committed owner who understands that behavior in the past can be shaped and changed. Hank thrives best in a force free, positive motivation environment. He loves to learn. Exercise: Yes - 2 to 3 miles per day and about 1/2 hour off lead romp time (ball chasing his specialty) Best with: Hank wants to be your one and only. While he is great meeting and greeting on casual walks or trips to the beach or mountains, he has no need for dog parks. Hank thinks people are cool. Not ideal for: A low energy home, someone who does not understand and know how to shape dog behavior Energy level: 6 (scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being low and 10 being marathon runner) Hank is a deeply affectionate and people-loving dog. He enjoys being with his humans, exploring the outdoors, and running freely in a big field. He would happily join his family for hikes, beach days, or car rides - he absolutely loves the car. He also does wonderfully for grooming and baths and is calm and cooperative on the grooming table. What we see today is a sweet, energetic young dog who simply needs the right structure, boundaries, and understanding. For the right adopter - someone experienced, patient, and committed to providing a stable, child-free home - Hank will be an incredibly loyal, loving companion who is ready for a fresh start and a life full of adventure and connection. Good with dogs: He can co-exist peacefully in the public world but at home, he wants to be your one and only Good with kids: Because of Hank's bite history, we will not place him in a home with children under 18. This is an Adult Only playmate Cats: Unknown but can be tested Fun fact: Hank will not let a squeaky toy live! He is an expert in squeak-ectomy's! Potential Adopters Dogs can’t drive - and since we’re busy taking care of them, we can’t either! Please check your potential BFF’s location and make sure you’re comfortable traveling to meet them.
