Big Hank's Story

LOCATION: COLORADO<br/>ADOPTABLE ANYWHERE IN THE USA<br/><br/>Big Hank thinks everyone he meets is the best part of his day. Strangers get a full body welcome, other dogs get a friendly hello, and nobody gets left out. This guy is 90 pounds of enthusiasm and sometimes that means it's a little hard to keep all four paws on the floor when he's saying hello, but he's doing his best!<br/><br/><br/>At 8 years old he's past the puppy years- he knows his basics and is pretty good at being a family dog, but he is nowhere near past the excitement of being in a family.<br/><br/>Hank first came to the shelter as a stray in 2020 and was adopted out to a family who had him for six years until a move sent him right back where he came from. He was adopted again in July and came back last week when his owner ran into health problems. Life got in the way of Hank's family twice, and he was taken back to the shelter both times through no fault of his own. He's earned someone who plans to keep him.<br/><br/>Two important things to know about Hank:<br/>1- Hank is a hound, which means his nose makes the decisions, and sometimes that nose gets a little too curious about what’s on the other side of the fence. a secure 6 ft+ fence is important for this guy.<br/><br/>2- If your cat has a name, a bed, and a place in your heart, please take a look at our other available hounds- Hank is not your guy.<br/><br/>If you’d like a dog who’s thrilled to see you every single time you walk in the door, Big Hank is your guy. He’s been rehearsing since before you met.<br/><br/>helplesshounds.com/adopt<br/><br/>Hank - Foxhound mix - 8 years old - Colorado - transport available - adoptable nationwide

Helpless Hounds Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy
For a complete list of our adoption criteria, please visit: https://www.helplesshounds.com/faqs NOTE: You must complete and submit an application and be approved to adopt prior to being able to meet the dog. We are a RESCUE, which is different from a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks during the application approval process. We always try to select the right applicant for each dog, based on the dog’s needs and try to find the best match for both dog and human. We leave a dog’s profile online until either it has been adopted, or has received several applications. We are a non-profit organization that spends our adoption fees and donations on vaccinations, surgeries, various medical tests, medicines, food and supplies needed by our dogs. Our fees do not cover the overall expenses incurred by the care of our dogs, but they do help defray the costs involved. We thank you for your support.
