Hank is a 5-year-old male terrier mix who came to us after being found abandoned on the side of a road. Thankfully, he was rescued right away — this beautiful boy is both deaf and blind, likely since birth, and truly thrives despite it. His spirit is remarkable, and he navigates life with confidence, curiosity, and a whole lot of love.
For the last month, Hank has been living in a foster home, where he has adjusted wonderfully to indoor life. He quickly learned where all his important spots are and gets around with ease. He’s fully potty-trained and crate-trained, and will gently paw at you when he needs to go outside.
Hank is very curious about cats — not in a harmful way, but because he genuinely has no idea what a “cat” is! With guidance and boundaries, he could happily live with a respectful feline friend. He also does well with other dogs, especially calm, older ones who aren’t too in his face. A polite canine companion would suit him perfectly.
His favorite thing in the whole world? Snuggling under blankets right beside his person. Hank doesn’t bark, loves a peaceful environment, and simply wants to be near the people he loves. He is the definition of a loyal, affectionate companion dog.
Hank is looking for a calm, loving home that appreciates how special he truly is. If you’re ready to give a wonderful special-needs pup the care, comfort, and affection he deserves, Hank will repay you with endless devotion.
Hank isn’t just looking for a home — he’s looking for a heart to belong to.
