Story
Meet Hulk!
Hulk is approximately 11 months old, 47 lbs, and the biggest of his litter — hence the name!
Hulk and his siblings Wanda, Peggy, Black Widow, Nebula, and Thor were found at a construction site in South Texas along the Mexico border. They were among multiple dogs at the site, hungry, exhausted, and looking defeated. Thankfully, all six puppies and several of the other dogs were rescued and brought to a safe sanctuary, where they have been thriving since March 2026.
After months at the sanctuary, Hulk has blossomed into a happy, social, goofy, confident, and incredibly lovable young dog who is ready for a family of his own.
Hulk is looking for an active home and a family who wants a four-legged adventure buddy. Hiking? Absolutely. Exploring? Yes, please! Playing with other dogs? He’s all in. He has plenty of puppy energy and would love a home where he can get lots of exercise, playtime, enrichment, and continued training.
But don't let his energy fool you — Hulk also knows how to relax. In his kennel, especially when paired with his friend Robin, he is calm and comfortable. Once he's out, though, he is ready to run, play, splash in the kiddie pool, and have some fun!

Hulk has a particularly hilarious weakness: garden and work gloves. If someone at the sanctuary leaves a pair hanging around, Hulk considers them a fair game. He is also obsessed with sticks — one foster was cleaning up the property with a handful of sticks, and Hulk immediately decided they belonged to him. So if you're looking for a dog who will help with yard work... Hulk has some very specific ideas about what that means!
Water Dog Extraordinaire:
Hulk absolutely loves water. If there is a kiddie pool available, he's probably going to be in it. He loves splashing, getting wet, and generally making sure everyone knows that water is meant to be enjoyed.
What Hulk Needs:
Hulk is still a young dog and will need consistent, positive training to help him become the best version of himself. He is still working on his leash skills and basic manners, so his adopter should be prepared to continue working with him as he grows.
He would thrive with an active person or family who wants to take him on adventures, provide plenty of exercise and enrichment, and include him in their daily life.
He's a short-to-medium-sized guy — not exactly tall, but definitely solidly built! At 47 lbs, Hulk is the biggest of the litter and is, shall we say, a little big-boned. He is not exactly the easiest dog to pick up and carry around, so fortunately, he much prefers keeping his four paws on the ground anyway!
Most importantly, Hulk is a loving, happy young dog who has come so far since the day he was found. He went from a hungry, defeated puppy at a construction site to a confident, playful, affectionate dog who is ready to discover what life with a family is really like.
If you're looking for a goofy, lovable, energetic companion who will happily follow you around, steal your gloves, chase sticks, splash in the water, and shower you with affection...
Hulk might just be your guy.
Hulk is neutered, heart worm negative, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on de-wormer, and will receive a clean bill of health from a licensed veterinarian prior to transport.
