Hank's Story

Meet Hank! This little (well, currently not so little!) guy was picked up stray, brought to a shelter, and shockingly no one ever came looking for him! <br/><br/>It's clear that at one time he was loved, based on his wonderful disposition, his manners in the house, and ... his weight!<br/><br/>Hank is a chubby little fellow, and our first order of business is to help him start losing some of that weight so he can live a long and happy life! <br/><br/>While at the shelter he did have some abnormal lab results, and we are investigating those further with our vets. So far it seems like it could all be related to how overweight he is, and we are hoping that once he trims down a bit things will improve!<br/><br/>In the meantime, Hank is the happiest and friendliest little dog you could hope for! He has had no reactivity to the dogs and cats in his foster home, and he is great with all the people. <br/><br/>Hank has a follow up vet appt on 6/19, and we will re-check his labs then (and hopefully he will have lost some weight and find that he is all good! <br/><br/>We planned on keeping him with us at least til then. HOWEVER... if the right family applies that is willing and able to give Hank the daily walks and other exercise he needs, as well as keep him on a healthy diet to help get him where he needs to be, we will consider letting him go to his forever home before the appt! And we will still cover that visit!<br/><br/>So, if you are interested in Hank, please copy and paste the following link into your browser to submit an application! <br/><br/>https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/GARP/Dog<br/><br/>Please also follow us on Facebook to keep up with all our Pals, upcoming events, and announcements!<br/><br/>https://www.facebook.com/share/ahFTecYpLt3bLPkf/?mibextid=qi2Omg

Rescue Pals, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
Thank you for your interest in one of our Pals! Our adoption fees for dogs are: Puppies up to 1 Year Old : $400 Adult Dogs 1 - 9 Years : $350 Senior Dogs 10 - 12 Years : $300 Super Senior Dogs 12 + Years : $150 Kittens up to 1 Year Old : $125 Adult Cats 1 - 12 Years : $95 Senior Cats 12 + Years : $75 If multiple cats/kittens are adopted to the same home at the same time, each kitty after the first (youngest) will have their fee reduced by $25. All dogs and cats are or will be: spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Here is our adoption process: Applicants must be at least 21 years of age. Applicants must be ready for a new pet to come home immediately after the entire adoption process is complete and approved. We are not able to hold animals if you have travel coming up, etc., so please be prepared to make arrangements for your new pet if that is the case. After submitting an application, your information will be reviewed and a vet check will be done for your current and past pets (going back 5 years). Your pets should be spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, and on heartworm prevention. Veterinary medical exceptions will be taken into consideration for any of those items. If you and the pet you are applying for seem like a great fit, a member of our adoption team will contact you for a telephone interview. After that, a home check will be done, and then a meet and greet (maybe at the same time!). If all is well and everyone agrees that this is the right new family member for you, the adoption can be finalized at that time! Please note that we are an all-volunteer organization, and in some cases when multiple applications come in for the same pet we may not be able to respond to each applicant. If a pet no longer appears on Petfinder, it means he or she has been adopted. Applying for a pet does not place that animal on hold, or guarantee approval. Our goal is to make the very best match that will last a lifetime for the pet, so we hope everyone can understand and appreciate that. If your application is approved through 1st review and vet check, but we don't feel that the pet you're interested in is the right fit, we may suggest another who we feel would be a better fit for your lifestyle/what you're looking for. Thank you so much again for your interest in adopting a Pal, and helping us save lives!
