My name is Hank!

Name: Hank

Gender: Male

Age: 8 years

Current Weight: 94lbs

Expected Adult Size: X-Large (over 100 lbs)

Breed: German Shepherd

Energy Level: Low-Medium

Dog Friendly: No, and cannot live with other dogs

Cat Friendly: No

Kid Friendly: Unknown

Apartment Friendly: Yes

Physical Fence Requirement: Physical fence not required

Crate Trained: Yes for short periods of time

Potty Trained: Yes

Ideal Home/Adopter: Hank would do well as an only pet and with people who work from home or are retired. He’s happiest hanging by your side while you work or watch tv. He’s very low energy. His foster family has left him uncrated while taking walks around the neighborhood and he just lays by the front door waiting for their return.

Likes: He REALLY loves car rides, afternoon naps, chasing tennis balls, head rubs and giving kisses, sleeping on his dog bed, relaxing on the patio in the evening

Dislikes: Cats, motorcycles

Additional Considerations: While German Shepherds are typically aloof with strangers, he is very friendly and wants to meet everyone!

What makes this dog special: He wants nothing more than to be hanging out next to his people and keep them company. Talk about a perfect companion for those who work from home! Hank knows basic commands (sit, lay down and shake). Hank would do best as an only dog (no cat home) since he’s an older guy who’s set in his ways. He’s extremely friendly and does well meeting new people.
