My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Available for Foster, Foster to Adopt, or Adoption!

Hank has been with us for a while. Poor boy has been here since Oct 2021. He loves to play. He loves attention. He loves treats (who doesn't?).

Hank is a really sweet boy. He is getting really stressed living the kennel life, though. This boy needs a home, with a yard and a family to call his own. He has not had many inquiries, he does not seem to be a fan-favorite for reasons we don’t understand, and the kennel life is not meant for him - or really any dog for that matter. Hank is a young loving boy who would be able to grow more in a forever home, or even a foster, to keep him free of stress, to allow him to unleash his crazy, puppy-like self. For a young guy, he has great recall and has been open to welcoming female dogs to play with him. MUST be dog experience, not for a first-time dog owner

Name: Hank

Medical(shots): Up to date
Good with dogs: VERY selective, must be ONLY pet

Guarding issues: yes with food with other dogs but good with people
House trained: yes
Crate trained : yes

Behaviour issues: guards his food from other dogs but will let me take it
Medical issues: damaged trachea
Other observations: Hank is very people happy and loves to meet dog friends with the proper introductions. Loves to run so needs space and proper excerise. Good off leash once bonded and can have with excellent recall when properly trained. Loves car rides. He is snuggly, loves to be in your lap. Loves his toys and will carry them on walks or when he goes outside.
Not for a first time dog owner. Will need someone with patience and time to continue working with him. He has been in a kennel for almost 3 years. So please understand he will need someone willing to help him decompress from the kennel environment.
Once he's comfortable with you and knows you, he's really a sweet boy with a big heart. Hence why we call him our goofball! Hank is all about cuddling and playtime!

More about this rescue

At F.A.B.R Canine Rehabilitation Therapy and Sanctuary, we are dedicated to giving a second chance to the dogs the world often overlooks. We specialize in taking in the misunderstood—the ones deemed “too difficult,” “too aggressive,” or simply “not worth the effort.” With careful behavioral assessments and tailored rehabilitation programs, we work to uncover the true potential in every dog, especially bully breeds and large power breeds, who are so often misjudged. These dogs are not the monsters they’re made out to be; they are victims of neglect, misunderstanding, and mistreatment. Through love, structure, and unwavering support, we’ve successfully rehomed countless dogs who were once dumped, surrendered, or abandoned—each one now thriving in homes that understand and appreciate them. At the heart of our mission is a commitment to education—we strive to reach anyone who is willing to learn and listen, breaking down harmful stereotypes and replacing them with compassion and knowledge. FABR is powered by a passionate community of supporters who share our belief that every dog deserves the chance to be seen, heard, and loved for who they truly are.
