Hank's Story
Meet Hank!<br/>Hank is a seven year old Boxer who came here through no fault of his own due to his owner not having the time to care for him. He has just about the sweetest face you've ever seen, but before you fall in love, you should know that Hank is going to need a specific type of home to thrive. He can get easily overwhelmed in new situations, and will need a patient owner with a calm household for him to truly settle in. Hank will also do best in a home where he can be a little king! He is very picky about which dogs he likes, and is not a fan of other canines that are his size or older. While he's lived with small dogs in the past and did great with them, he does best when given his own space. We strongly recommend a meet and greet if you have any small dogs in the home to make sure Hank is going to be a good fit for your family! In his previous home Hank was a huge fan of chasing the cats off of his property, and while he never caught or hurt any, we think it would be best he go to a home without any felines.<br/>While it can take Hank a moment to warm up and truly feel connected to you, once you are one of his people you will not meet a more loyal dog! Hank gets along with folks of all ages, as he's been around kids before and always did well with. It will be important, though, that as Hank settles into his new home that he is supervised around any kids until he can fully get used to them.<br/>Please note, Hank is not yet neutered, but it is Kansas state law that whoever take him would have a month to get the surgery completed. This will be especially important for him, as he has a condition called Cryptorchidism, which means his testicles never descended. Having this condition makes it more likely for him to develop testicular cancer if the surgery is never completed, so getting that done as soon as possible will be essential.<br/>Hank has received some training in the past, but he will need a brush up. He was housebroken at one point, but a couple of years ago his owner transitioned Hank to living outdoors so he has lost some of that knowledge. Since he was fully housebroken at one point, it shouldn't be too hard to train him, but just be prepared for a couple of accidents while he re-learns the ropes!<br/>Hank is a very good boy who just needs a soft place to land for his golden years. If you are interested in this special fella and feel that your environment fits Hank's criteria, please stop by the shelter to meet Hank and see if you fall madly in love!
