Hank's Story

UPDATED 8/1/2026 Hank is currently not available for adoption. NBR will continue to work with him to help him become more secure before placing him in an adoptive home. If you would like to track Hank's progress, we will update his description with periodic Progress Reports! Hank was found and was trapped after 1 month on the run! He is back in his NBR foster home. Hi! My name is Hank! I'm about 3 years old. A local shelter brought me up from a shelter in West Virginia where I was going to be euthanized. I'm fantastic with dogs! I love to be around dogs. But I'm a very timid guy with people. I used to be afraid to be touched. The folks at the shelter thought that I had been abused. I used to be really afraid of leashes. (The folks at the shelter thought I had been beaten with a leash). Anyways, the shelter transferred me to Nittany Beagle Rescue. So here I am! The folks at NBR are working with me to become less timid and afraid. I'm really making great progress! I'm in a foster home now - new photos are coming soon! I need a home where the people can work with me slowly and gently. I would probably do best in a quiet, low-key home. A home with another dog would be best. The other dog will make me feel secure. I will run away if scared, and so precautions are needed to make sure I don't run out the door, or slip my collar. Walking me with 2 leashes on 2 collars is best for quite some time. A home with a securely fenced yard is desirable. It is important there not be any gaps in the fence or under the fence. Most of all, I need a person who has experience with dogs like me. If you were following me on social media while I was lost, you know I am terrified of people & will not come near a person, even if I know them. I am working on housetraining and house manners in my foster home. I weigh about 30 lbs. I may sound like a lot, but I am so worth it! Please think about making me part of your family! Go to my PetFinder page & you can see more photos & a video. My photo of me in the crate was me on my 1st day with NBR. I was so frightened! But you can see how far I've come in my other photos! And check out my happy hop in my video! Kennel License #4068

Nittany Beagle Rescue's Adoption Policy
Thank you for your interest in adopting a rescue dog & Nittany Beagle Rescue! We are a foster-home based rescue. We hold showings on the 1st & 3rd Saturday of the month at Lyons Kennels in Bellefonte, PA from 11am - 1pm. You can meet some of our dogs then! Please email or send a PM on our FB page if you want to know if a particular dog will be at the showing. If you are interested in a particular dog, or a type of dog, please submit an application to foster or adopt (it's the same application form). Once you have an approved application for a dog, we will connect you with the dog's foster parent. Typically the potential adopter & foster talk on the telephone first. Then if the dog seems like a good fit, we arrange a personal meet & greet. To download an application form, please go to (or copy & paste the link into your browser): https://www.nittanybeaglerescue.org/adopt.cfm For a full listing of our events, please go the Events page of our website: https://www.nittanybeaglerescue.org/events.cfm No same day adoptions.
