Some dogs bounce back.
Hank… never stopped loving in the first place.

His story is a hard one to tell, but it matters because it explains just how remarkable he truly is.
In his previous home, Hank lived with another dog who targeted him. Because Hank is extremely submissive, he never fought back — and instead of being protected, he became the one mistreated. He was kicked, deprived of food, and repeatedly threatened with being shot.

Someone in the home couldn’t bear to see it continue and insisted he be taken to the shelter so he could live. That decision saved Hank’s life.

What’s incredible is what came next. Hank still loves people. He doesn’t beg loudly for attention — he quietly asks for it. He’ll gently lean into your leg, nuzzle your hand, and stay close just to feel safe near you. Every kindness matters to him, and he receives affection with a gratitude that’s impossible to fake.

Hank is:
• Extremely gentle and deeply submissive
• Obedient and easy to handle
• Crate trained and keeps it clean
• Affectionate but never pushy
• Non-reactive — he walks away instead of escalating
• Loyal and deeply bonded to his person

With other dogs, Hank is polite and deferential, sometimes to a fault. More dominant dogs may pick on him, and he will simply retreat behind his handler rather than defend himself. Because of this, he would do best with calm or respectful dogs.

Hank doesn’t need chaos or a busy lifestyle — he needs peace. A quiet home. Gentle people. Predictable days. Someone who will protect his soft heart. He has every reason not to trust humans, yet he chooses to — over and over again.

We are looking for a patient, loving home where Hank will never have to wonder if he is safe. If you want a loyal companion who will treasure every ounce of kindness you show him, Hank is waiting.
Let’s give this good boy the life he should have had all along.

More about this rescue

We opened in December 2019 as 1 of only 2 dog cafes in the United States. 3 months later we had to close our doors due to Covid. We resumed operations in December 2020 but have since focused on rescue, foster and adoptions. We also provide daycare and boarding services at our facility in Edmonds.
