Hank Holly *MEET ME!* needs a caretaker or foster! Won't you consider helping him get a new start?
COME MEET ME! I will be at the Always Adopt event on June 4, 2017,
Age: 5 Months (as of 5/22/17)
Weight: 20.6 lbs (as of 5/15/17) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Meet gentle, sweet Hank Holly! Hank and his sister Helen appear to be a Labrador Retriever/Beagle mix about 5 months old. Hank's a playful, affectionate, shy boy who loves squeaky toys, playgroup, games of chase and rough wrestling. He's always ready for action until it's time to chill, then he's more than happy to settle down. He's been crated in the car and did fine. He'll need house training; leash walking and crate training are in the works. He's also learning "sit" and with the promise of treats will be eager to learn more stuff! We strongly recommend that all our dogs - and especially puppies - attend obedience classes because you get to learn commands together, and it offers an opportunity for confidence building and socialization for the pup, and it also helps to strengthen that ever-important bond between the puppy and his human family. It’s lots of fun, too! A well-mannered, obedient dog will be welcomed most anywhere you take him. New situations and new people especially bring out Hank's shyness, but he's totally interested. He'll bark to get your attention and like most puppies, when he's playing with other dogs - he'll also need to learn that jumping on guests is not polite. Though a fenced yard is an ideal place for your puppy to romp and play safely, if that’s not an option then lots of daily leash walks and opportunities to play off-leash in a dog park is the next best thing. A tired dog is a good dog! Dogs of all ages also benefit from mental stimulation – think puzzle toys and games. Puppies are a lot of work and require a strong commitment to teaching them obedience, socializing them with other dogs and people, playing with them and loving them to pieces. It takes a lot of time, energy and patience to bring up a puppy - and it’s totally worth it! So far Hank Holly has only known shelter life and can't imagine that there's a real home somewhere that will be his forever with all the love and squeaky toys he could ever want. Fill out an application today and make Hank's dreams come true!
