Hank - Massachusetts Foster

Fill out an adoption form

Hank has made his way to New England and is currently being fostered in Massachusetts while he searches for the forever family he deserves.

This handsome boy came to us from Hernando, Mississippi, where he landed in a shelter as a stray. Sadly, no one ever came looking for him. When our Director met Hank, she immediately fell in love with his soulful face and knew he deserved a second chance. We promised him that his next chapter would be a good one.

Since arriving in foster care, Hank has been everything we hoped he would be. He lives in a home that also operates as a dog daycare and boarding facility, giving him plenty of opportunities to interact with dogs of all sizes. Hank has been wonderful with every dog he's met. He is calm, respectful, and completely non-reactive. In fact, if another dog gets a little bossy with him, he tends to look more hurt than offended.

Hank can be a bit cautious when meeting new people, and given his unknown past, that's understandable. The good news is that once he realizes you're kind—and especially if you happen to have treats—his walls come down quickly. Underneath that initial shyness is a sweet, gentle dog who wants to trust and connect.

Because Hank gains confidence from other dogs, we believe he would thrive in a home with a friendly, playful, well-adjusted canine companion who can show him the ropes and help him settle into family life.

If you're looking for a dog whose life will truly be changed by adoption, Hank may be your perfect match. He isn't looking for perfection—just patient people willing to give him a little time to blossom. We have a feeling that once Hank gives you his heart, you'll have a loyal best friend for life.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England.  

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption veterinary costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age-appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England, if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse, whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
