Hank Jr. Mastiff Mix Nashville, TN

The sweetest senior imaginable is in the house!

Meet Hank: a true gentleman in every sense of the world. Hank is 8 years old and 80-90 lbs so not only is he not a good candidate to be a Paris Hilton circa 2002 style 'purse dog' he also has zero interest in being your next running partner. What Hank really wants is a family to give him lots of love as he enjoys his golden years.

Hank is an absolute sweetheart. He might be hard of hearing, but he has excellent house manners regardless. He's good with dogs, cats, kids, he's even toddler approved. His current foster has a 3 year old who adores him and he gladly accepts her affections.

Hank Jr. is all about the love so if you've got that to give he's looking at you. Interested parties should fill out an application and email courtney@bigfluffydogs.com explaining why you'd like to be Hank's retirement home

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please apply online, at http://www.bigfluffydogs.com/online-app.php.Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process. All known information about an individual dog is provided in it's listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters must understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for:1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only "hold it" for one hour per month of age (ex. a 4 month old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break).2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old, to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise.3.) Socialization: The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home.4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded tenfold, for years to come.Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy.Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time consuming, and can be expensive.All Dogs Require:Supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well socialized dog is more than worth the effort put in to get them there.
