Look at handsome Hank! This sweet, soulful boy has one simple wish in life — to be loved and to belong.
Hank was adopted as a puppy from a shelter, but as he grew into his big, beautiful self, his family decided he was “too big” for their home and returned him. Thankfully, one of our dedicated southern rescuers stepped in before he had to face shelter life again and welcomed him into foster care. Now thriving in a home environment, Hank is showing everyone what an incredible companion he truly is.
In his foster home, Hank is a happy, affectionate guy who absolutely adores people. He lights up when the grandkids come over and has shown nothing but playful, gentle behavior with them and his foster’s son. He loves being part of the action and happily soaks up all the attention he can get.
Hank also gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys having playmates to romp around with. As for cats, he hasn’t bothered his foster mom’s cat, though she tends to keep her distance — so a slow, proper introduction woth a dog-savvy cat would be best.
He is house-trained and does well when let out regularly, though he has had a couple of accidents if his cues are missed. Hank has been crated in the past and tolerates it, though it’s not his favorite place to be. He has done well roaming the house without issue, but continued crate use when left alone — at least until he’s fully settled — would be a smart transition plan.
Hank walks decently on leash and would benefit from continued structure and consistency. He can get a little anxious in the car, but when secured with a seatbelt, he relaxes and settles nicely — it seems to give him a sense of security.
This high-energy, athletic boy is looking for an active home with a yard where he can stretch his legs and burn off energy. He would make a fantastic running partner and would thrive with a family that enjoys outdoor adventures and includes him in their daily life.
Hank has so much love to give and so much life to share. He just needs a family who will see his worth, embrace his size, and promise him forever this time. Let’s find this deserving boy the perfect home he’s been waiting for.

More about this rescue
PAWS is comprised of a small group of volunteers from New England and Tennessee trying to reduce the euthanization rate (previously 90%) at the Tipton County Animal Control shelter in Brighton, Tennessee. This shelter is forced to euthanize thousands of animals each year due to irresponsible pet owners that do not spay/ neuter their dogs in the area. Millions of dogs in America are euthanized each year due to lack of space and lack of funding to try and find them better homes.
Our mission is to save as many animals as possible, removing them from the shelter, having their veterinary needs met prior to traveling and then finding them loving homes throughout New England. We do this only with the assistance of many people volunteering their time by going to the shelter, transporting the dogs to the vet, fostering dogs who need special care, and arranging for their new and happy homes in this area. Most importantly, we cannot do any of this without those people willing to open their homes and hearts to these lovely creatures.
