Hank in Parsipanny, NJ

Hi, there! I am Hank. I am a 3 years old Blenheim boy, who is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. I came into rescue due to a family move, and my foster mom has been helping me with my manners. I am learning basic obedience, I am reliably house broken, and I am working hard at settling when she leaves. I would really love a home where my people are home most of the time and I can follow them around and gaze lovingly at them.

Since coming into rescue, I had dental surgery and despite my young age I lost several teeth. My new family will need to stay on top of brushing my teeth every day so the rest can stay clean and healthy.

I came from a house with children and other dogs, and I enjoy both. I do get a little excited, so my new family will need to show me what is appropriate and what isn’t. I’m young and still learning! I like my foster dog brothers, and they tolerate me. I would love a home with other friendly dogs, but I do not need them. My foster mom has cats and a bird, and I am a little too interested in both. The cats that ignore me are fine, but the cats that run and the bird that flies are too much excitement for me, and I should not be left alone with them.

I am dog door trained. I haven’t had an accident in my foster mom’s house because I can go out into the fenced yard whenever I want. I am also very reliable to potty on my walks, if that is what is easier for my new family. I am crated when my foster mom is gone from home because of my overzealous nature with the cats, but I can be trusted to be out unattended with someone home. I am a bit of an escape artist, so a securely fenced yard and doors that shut securely are a must.

While in rescue, I have been on a weight loss journey with my foster mom, and I need a new family that will keep up my exercise and watch my calories so I do not backslide. I love walks, and I am used to 3-5 miles a day. My foster mom wakes up very early so we can do 3 miles in the morning. It’s great to be out that early because not a lot distracts me in the dark. Daytime walks are very exciting because all the woodland creatures want me to chase them.

If you live within a reasonable driving distance of Parsippany, NJ and you are interested in adopting me, please email Rebecca Plimpton at beckplimpton@gmail.com and fill out an application if you haven’t already done one. I really want a family all my own and hope to hear from you soon.
