Name: Hank
Color: Black/Tan
Size: large
Gender: Male, neutered
Age: 7 months
Floor-friendly: crate trained
Good with kids: yes, but very energetic, kids need to be good with dogs
Friendly: very friendly
Jumps fences: No attempt to breeech fences, but very quick at the gate and doors, so extreme care needs to be taken.
Playful: pending- seems to like squeaky toys
Sleep indoors: Indoor home only. He has been outdoors and his poor little ears have suffered some fly bites. He loves and adores affection and his humans, being outdoors alone is torture for him and he barks for a friend to come play with him. He is fine for potty time and to hang outdoors for a bit, but doesn't like to see a human outside of a kennel (because then he can't be with them). He wants to be with his people.
Origin:
Owner relinquish. Lived on farm and began to "irritate" the horses.
Health concerns: No current health concerns, still undergoing his basic intake healthcare.
