HANK is a big, lovable, enthusiastic yet gentle, 2 year old boy with a soft disposition and a goofy personality. He was found wandering amuck on neighborhood streets as a pup and no one claimed him. Since then, Hank has matured into a handsome, long legged, 72 pound dog with a tail that curls up over his back. It's hard to say exactly what breed he is, but we think he could be a mix of pit bull, lab or perhaps some catahoola given his appearance - but we really have no idea.
Some of Hanks favorite activities include long walks or easy jogs, playing with other dogs (male or female), chasing after a ball and relaxing with his people. He especially relishes being brushed and lightly scratched on the top of his head or back. If Hank sees a leash or hears the car keys, his ears perk up and he's at the door ready to go. He loves riding in the car and is a great passenger. Curious by nature, Hank often discovers new aspects of life that initially startle him, but with a little reassurance from his people he recovers quickly and moves on.
In the home, Hank is house trained, sleeps in a crate, and listens very well to verbal commands. He is eager to please and a quick learner. His foster family continues to work with him on basic obedience training.
Generally, Hank is a delightful companion that loves to be around people. During neighborhood walks, he will happily great passers by and other dogs. In his home, he does take a while to check out and warm up to strangers entering the house, and while he is okay with kids while an adult is present, children running around the house or yard make him nervous. He would do better in a quieter home with calm teens or adults only. He is fine living with other dogs.
