About HANK (THE STANK)

Meet Hank, a one-of-a-kind farm companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart! This handsome guy is on the mend, with his hair slowly growing back in—patchy for now, but getting softer every day—which only adds to his unique charm. Hank is a total lover, though not overly cuddly. He prefers to show his affection by staying close and being part of whatever you’re doing. He truly thrives in a farm setting and shines when he has a job—whether it’s helping with chores or keeping watch over the property. He does great with other dogs, as well as horses and goats, making him a wonderful fit for a multi-animal home. He seems to have a soft spot for men but has bonded closely with a teen girl in his current home, showing that once he chooses his person, he’s incredibly loyal. He enjoys the company of teenagers, though he hasn’t yet been around younger children. Hank has an independent and playful side. He enjoys water and swimming—on his own terms—but tolerates baths without much fuss. He’s also very smart... maybe a little too smart, as he has learned how to open refrigerators!

Ideal Home

Hank thrives in a farm setting with plenty of space to roam. He does not tolerate confinement and has a history of escaping kennels, crates, and fencing when feeling restricted. He needs a home with boundary fencing and room to explore. While he enjoys the company of teenagers, homes with younger children are not recommended.

Ongoing Health

Hank is hypothyroid and will need ongoing, routine medication to manage his condition. He is already doing well with his treatment.

Training & Support

Hank is a very smart boy who has learned to open refrigerators. His recall is decent but will need some continued work, especially in public settings. He needs a home that can offer him purpose and understanding.
