Hank’s Happy Tail

Today’s Happy Tail Tuesday is Hank!

Large brown dog sitting with a happy expression

Hank the silver Lab found his way to our shelter after being bought by a breeder as a puppy. Without getting much in the way of training or socializing, he quickly turned into an unruly 90 pound teenager…not so cute any more, right? He hated the shelter environment and was presenting to potential adopters as anxious and intense. Fortunately, the Rectors saw Hank for what he was – a diamond in the rough in need of equal parts love and guidance. He has turned into a different dog with his new family, and in these right conditions, has begun to truly thrive! Thank you Clare for giving Hank a chance! You can follow all his adventures on Instagram at @Hankthetank___!
