Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hanky – Brindle Comfort in a 51-Pound Package 🐾
5 years old, Boxer mix, Neutered Male
"Looking for a dog who’s the definition of chill? Meet Hanky."
Hanky is the ultimate low-energy companion, friendly, sweet, and full of wiggly joy whenever you give him love. He’s happiest lounging by your side, quietly soaking up affection, and using his favorite stuffed toy as a pillow. While Hanky mostly keeps a relaxed pace, every now and then he might surprise you with a tiny burst of playful energy, enough to make you chuckle, but never demanding the spotlight.
Hanky has lived with cats, small dogs, and even free-range chickens and ducks. He’s grown up around children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers, and has proven himself to be a patient, steady presence in every situation. At the shelter, he’s also been a “helper dog,” calmly supporting and modeling positive behavior for other pups. His easygoing nature makes him a joy in public settings, greeting new people warmly without overwhelming them.
Hanky’s Highlights:
✔️ 5-year-old Boxer mix, 51 lbs
✔️ Neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated
✔️ Extremely low-energy, friendly, and treat-motivated
✔️ Wiggly and affectionate when receiving attention
✔️ Previously lived with cats, dogs, farm animals, and kids of all ages. Slow, supervised introductions are recommended to ensure a smooth transition.
✔️ Calm leash walker
✔️ Loves stuffed toys, especially for napping
Some dogs make a house feel like home the moment they walk in. Hanky is one of those dogs.
Come meet Hanky at the Caroline County Humane Society.

More about this shelter
In 1987, an initial attempt was made to organize a local humane society in Caroline County. While this attempt did not succeed, those same dedicated volunteers were not deterred.
From our humble beginnings 30 years ago, to where we are today, we are proud to be called “the little shelter that could”.
We provide service to our community through pet adoption, Rabies Clinics, Trap-Neuter-Return, Pet Pantry, Pet Lost & Found, Re-homing, Intake Diversion, Cremation
