Hank's Story

MEET HANK! <br/><br/>Hi, I'm Hank! I'm a 4-year-old Schnauzer-Yorkie mix, weighing in at 11.8 pounds - but don't let my small size fool you because I have a BIG personality!<br/><br/>I'm handsome, affectionate, playful, and VERY high-energy! I love toys, playing, and keeping busy.<br/><br/>I do well with other dogs, but I have a very dominant, confident personality and can be a lot for some dogs to handle. I love chasing and playing with my canine friends, and when I get excited, I can be quite vocal - sometimes barking right up in another dog's face. I would do best with a submissive, tolerant dog who is comfortable with a confident little guy like me and won't be bothered by my busy personality.<br/><br/>I also tend to resource guard toys. However, I'm more of a vocalizer than an aggressor when I'm upset about something. My future family should be comfortable managing resources appropriately and continuing to work with me on sharing and appropriate interactions.<br/><br/> How am I with kids?<br/>I do well with my foster family's kids, who are 4 and 5 years old and have a good understanding of how to appropriately interact with dogs. Because I am energetic and can be vocal and possessive over toys, I would do best with children who understand dog boundaries and with appropriate supervision.<br/><br/> How am I in a crate?<br/>I actually do really well in my crate! I don't potty in my crate overnight and settle down nicely once I'm in bed. I may bark a little at first to protest bedtime because, let's be honest, I have opinions - but I settle down and go to sleep.<br/><br/>I can also be a little cautious when meeting new people. I need some time and space to decide that you're okay. But once I trust you - and especially once you pick me up - I turn into a total sweetheart and affectionate little lovebug! <br/><br/> My ideal home:<br/> Single-family home - no apartments<br/> A patient person who will give me time to settle in<br/> Someone who can keep up with a high-energy little dog<br/> Preferably an only-dog home, or a home with a submissive, tolerant canine companion<br/> Dog-savvy children who understand boundaries<br/> Someone willing to appropriately manage my toy/resource guarding<br/> A consistent routine and continued work on house training<br/> Someone willing to help me continue learning appropriate ways to interact with other dogs<br/><br/>The good stuff? I'm already neutered and have had my full dental completed! <br/><br/>I'm currently in a foster home in Gulfport, MS, where my foster family is getting to know all the things that make me Hank.<br/><br/>I may not be the dog for everyone - and that's okay! I'm looking for someone who will appreciate my big personality, give me the patience and structure I need, and love me for the energetic, quirky, affectionate little guy I am. <br/><br/> Tired Dog Rescue<br/> Gulfport, Mississippi<br/><br/>Think Hank might be your match?

MEET HANK!

Hi, I'm Hank! I'm a 4-year-old Schnauzer-Yorkie mix, weighing in at 11.8 pounds - but don't let my small size fool you because I have a BIG personality!

I'm handsome, affectionate, playful, and VERY high-energy! I love toys, playing, and keeping busy.

I do well with other dogs, but I have a very dominant, confident personality and can be a lot for some dogs to handle. I love chasing and playing with my canine friends, and when I get excited, I can be quite vocal - sometimes barking right up in another dog's face. I would do best with a submissive, tolerant dog who is comfortable with a confident little guy like me and won't be bothered by my busy personality.

I also tend to resource guard toys. However, I'm more of a vocalizer than an aggressor when I'm upset about something. My future family should be comfortable managing resources appropriately and continuing to work with me on sharing and appropriate interactions.

How am I with kids?
I do well with my foster

We want every adoption to be for life so please think about what you can and what you are willing to do before considering each pet. If you are unsure please contact us and we can help answer any questions.
