Howdy, friends! My name is Hank, and I’m a young Texas boy with a gentle soul, a wagging tail, and a whole lot of love to give.

My story started off a little rough—I was found tied to a post at a dog park in Texas—but thanks to Animal Control and the caring folks at H.A.L.O., I got the second chance I deserved. Now, I’m focused on the future and finding my forever family.

Even though my past is a bit of a mystery, one thing is crystal clear: I’m a very good boy. I’ve been friendly and affectionate since arriving at the shelter, and I’ve done great meeting both other dogs and cats. I’m gentle, loving, and eager to be someone’s loyal companion.

Now let’s talk about something important—I am a BIG, STRONG boy! When I’m on a leash, I get so excited to go, go, go that I sometimes forget my manners and pull. I’m not trying to drag you around on purpose… I just haven’t learned yet that humans don’t enjoy being yanked down the sidewalk! I’ll need an equally strong and confident person who’s willing to work with me on my leash skills and help me channel my enthusiasm in the right direction. If you have a fenced yard where I can stretch my legs while I keep practicing my leash walking, that would be amazing—but it’s not required if you’re up for the challenge and ready to put in the time with me.

I recently completed my heartworm treatment and am feeling better every day. I do have a heartworm recheck coming up in a few months, but the good news is H.A.L.O. covers the full cost through their foster-to-adopt program—so all you need to bring is love.

If you’re looking for a sweet, faithful friend who just needs a little guidance (and maybe some strong arms!) I might be your perfect match. I may have once been tied to a post, but now I’m ready to be tied to a heart—maybe yours. ❤️

Requirements: Martingale Collar; Foster-to-Adopt (Heartworm Recheck)
