Hank is a very handsome 2-year-old lab/boxer mix. He is very friendly and playful with everyone he meets. Hank is beyond amazing with kids of all ages and loves being involved in whatever the kids are doing. He has wonderful manners in the house. He may wait patiently for a scrap of food, but he never begs or whines for it. He is house trained. If he gets a kid toy, he responds really well to “leave it” and will give it up easily. He only barks at the doorbell or if someone new is in the yard. He loves long walks. He does tend to pull at times, so we have a special collar that helps minimize that. He is crate trained and sometimes prefers to sleep in the crate at night or on his doggie bed or child’s room. If it is time for the crate, we simply say “crate” and he walks happily in.  

Hank needs to be in a home with high fences that he can’t jump over. Hank’s forever home needs to be mindful of open doors or gates as he likes to take opportunities to leave the house if anything is left open. We don’t know how he is with cats. We have noticed he is good with bigger dogs but not as much with smaller pups. On walks he will pull to say hi and sometimes give a growl to a passing dog. If we say “leave it” that will usually do the trick. If we see another dog walking on the same side of the street as us, we will usually cross the road to give the other dog more space. 

He is very very smart and the sweetest boy. Hank is so lovable.
