Hank's Story

Meet Hank! This little cutie came to us as a transfer from another shelter when they were short on space. Once he arrived we found out that Hank is actually a rescue from Korea, and was living on the streets prior to his arrival to his previous shelter and is considered a "Jindo". As you can imagine - Hank was very nervous when he first arrived and is learning how to live in a home for the first time. Hank has slowly but surely made many new friends and is adjusting to his new life in America, but will need a patient and experienced adopter who understands that he is learning and adapting at his own pace!<br/><br/>Much like having a new puppy - Hank's adopters can expect to start fresh, by helping to teach him normal house-dog experiences, like house training, leash walking, and playing with toys. Hank could go to a home with children 13 years and older who understand he is very nervous meeting new friends. Hank does not really enjoy the company of other dogs nor cats and wants to be the only pet and isn't really into doggie socials. Because of how overwhelming adapting to home life can be for Hank, he should not live in communal housing - such as a pet friendly apartment building. We know he is adorable and would love for you to learn more! <br/><br/>Hank is a part of our SCI Fayette Training Program, which means he is currently living off campus at the Fayette State Correctional Institution where he is living with selected inmates. While there, Hank enjoys enrichment activities, positive reinforcement and force-free training. Basically, he lives full time with his new best friends and learns manners to better prepare him for you - his future family!<br/><br/>Hank is also a part of our Rosie's Rule program. Animal Friends has teamed up with Fi Smart Dog Collar to provide GPS-enabled dog collars for Animal Friends' canine residents who may be at an increased risk of becoming separated from their handler. Once outfitted with a Fi collar, Rosie's Rule dogs will keep their collar through adoption along with a six-month long subscription to the Fi App.<br/><br/>Fill out an application -> thinkingoutsidethecage.org<br/>All of our animals are altered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines before being made available for adoption.<br/><br/>Animal Friends <br/>562 Camp Horne Road <br/>Pittsburgh, PA 15237 <br/>Kennel License #: 1042

Our adoption process is designed to match pets with the right homes while ensuring a positive experience for both the animal and adopter. Potential adopters start by exploring available pets online or in person, then complete an application and meet with staff to discuss lifestyle, preferences, and the needs of the pet. Once a good match is identified, adopters may have a meet-and-greet, and finally, complete the adoption with guidance on care, medical history, and resources for a successful transition home.
