7660 Hank - I'm a SSNAP Dog Doberman Pinscher Sandown, NH

Hank has undergone a lengthy journey through shelters. He originally came from a high-euthanasia shelter in SC after being seized from a neglectful situation. A shelter in RI stepped in to save Hank, who arrived nervous and emaciated. Subsequently, they reached out to DRU, hoping to give him a better chance of finding a home with a family experienced in caring for Dobermans.

Hank experiences medical issues commonly associated with dilute Dobermans. His eyes, which are blue, are highly sensitive to light, and he prefers wearing goggles for protection. Additionally, he deals with skin allergies and benign growths. Recently, he underwent an abscess debridement procedure.

Hank loves his DRU caretakers, but earning his trust wasn't easy. He will require a slow introduction to potential adopters and a few meet-and-greets to ensure a good fit. Hank has a high prey drive, as indicated by an incident where he killed a rabbit at the previous shelter. While he enjoys going on walks and behaves well with other dogs on a leash, we prefer that Hank goes to a home as the only dog, ensuring he receives the focused attention needed to keep him safe. Hank adores his toys and needs a quiet space where he can settle and unwind. Due to a reported previous bite incident, the ideal home for Hank would be with Doberman-savvy adults, no children, as the only dog, and with no small animals. Can you give Hank the home and new beginning he needs and deserves?
