Hank Williams

#2 of 9 Country Music Stars<br/><br/>Hank Williams is figuring out life in a loving, safe environment. While he is very cautious and slow to trust new people, he has already come a long way since he first arrived in foster care! He also still has a long way to go though, and he will need a very patient home with another playful, confident dog(s) and lots of TLC to heal the trauma of his past life.<br/><br/>Hank acts like two different dogs at the same time. Once he knows and trusts you, which takes a lot of time and patience, he is as happy, wiggly and affectionate as can be, seeking attention and giving kisses. But any loud noise, sudden movement, or unexpected/untrusted people can send him reeling back into his fearful state, hiding and barking in an effort to protect himself. He is very fearful of meeting new people and will need to be on a secure harness anytime he is outside, as he is very skittish.<br/><br/>More about Hank:<br/><br/>- Hank LOVES toys and romping with his young foster brother. He will need a confident, playful canine sibling in his ideal forever home.<br/><br/>- Hank reacts poorly when meeting new people, especially most men and young children. He still runs away from his foster dad and barks loudly at him whenever he walks from room to room or tries to give him a toy, but he will also seek snuggles from him occasionally when relaxing on the couch and has also begun taking treats from him.<br/><br/>- Hank LOVES treats and meals, though he also still seems to have some anxiety around meal times. He eats very fast and sometimes throws up afterward, so a slow feed bowl is a good tool to help him slow down.<br/><br/>- Hank is mostly house trained but not completely. He will need additional patience in a new home as he adjusts to the new environment and schedule.<br/><br/>- Hank is a very curious boy, but only when he feels very safe. He likes to investigate the dishwasher, look out of windows (so clear off anything you might have on a window sill he can reach haha!), poke around sniffing everything, and steal shoes.<br/><br/>- Hank absolutely needs to be on a harness when out for walks as he’s very jumpy outside. He does pretty well in the backyard, exploring and following the pack around.<br/><br/>- Hank currently has a love/hate relationship with his crate. We couldn’t get him to come out of it for the first week, but now he’s showing some anxiety around being crated when we leave. He will go in happily to eat but cries if we latch it.<br/><br/>Overall, Hank is a good boy just seeking comfort and love. He is still finding himself and learning about the world. With patience, love, and encouragement, we know he will blossom into an amazing companion for the person who chooses to invest in him!<br/><br/>Please see FAQs for current adoption fees.
