big hank

LOCATION: COLORADO
ADOPTABLE ANYWHERE IN THE USA

Big Hank thinks everyone he meets is the best part of his day. Strangers get a full body welcome, other dogs get a friendly hello, and nobody gets left out. This guy is 90 pounds of enthusiasm and sometimes that means it's a little hard to keep all four paws on the floor when he's saying hello, but he's doing his best!


At 8 years old he's past the puppy years- he knows his basics and is pretty good at being a family dog, but he is nowhere near past the excitement of being in a family.

Hank first came to the shelter as a stray in 2020 and was adopted out to a family who had him for six years until a move sent him right back where he came from. He was adopted again in July and came back last week when his owner ran into health problems. Life got in the way of Hank's family twice, and he was taken back to the shelter both times through no fault of his own. He's earned someone who plans to keep him.

Two important things to know about Hank:
1- Hank is a hound, which means his nose makes the decisions, and sometimes that nose gets a little too curious about what’s on the other side of the fence. a secure 6 ft+ fence is important for this guy.

2- If your cat has a name, a bed, and a place in your heart, please take a look at our other available hounds- Hank is not your guy.

If you’d like a dog who’s thrilled to see you every single time you walk in the door, Big Hank is your guy. He’s been rehearsing since before you met.
