Meet Hank! Hank found himself back at the pound for barking and jumping too much, and not listening… but after spending time with him, it’s clear this young guy wasn’t being bad — he was just being a dog who wanted attention, play, and companionship.
Hank was excited and affectionate in the yard earlier, eager to interact and have fun. Yes, he jumps — not out of defiance, but out of enthusiasm and love. When playtime ended and he was left alone, he cried and barked, clearly hoping for more time with his person. This boy thrives on human connection.
He appears to be potty trained and walks fairly well on a leash. Hank hasn’t shown any issues around the other dogs at the pound, though he’ll be dog-tested again to make sure he’s a good match for potential furry siblings.
Hank would do best with an active adopter who understands young dogs need time, patience, and outlets for their energy. With consistent guidance, playtime, and affection, Hank will be an incredible companion.
He’s a good boy. He just needs the right person to grow up with.
