Available for Adoption Alert!
Hank is a three-year-old Golden Retriever in foster care in the Des Moines metro area. His foster is ready to start looking at applications for his forever home!
Little info on this handsome hunk:
*LOVES to play with toys and balls, playing catch, and running around the backyard
*Walks around the house with a ball in his mouth
*Is easily excited to gain attention and love/pets
*Lots of energy and is always on the move
*Pulls on his leash when walking, but loves to go for walks
*He’s a talker when he is getting pets and playing with toys (cute little noises)
*Knows his name, can sit, and shake
*Enjoys being brushed, taking a bath (he loves water), playing in the doggie pool, and playing with his 3 y/o golden resident dog
*Working on crate training to help him have his own space and for rest times
*No potty accidents in the house
*Barks when the doorbell rings, when the resident dog barks, or when a dog is walking by and he’s in the backyard
*Loves to eat quickly, so we are using a slow feeder, and he’s treat-motivated
Forever Home Requirements:
*Fence: Physical fence required-no invisible fence
*Children: Age 5 and older due to Hank not fully knowing his size (71 pounds), his level of energy, and his powerful wagging tail
*Cats: No cats
*Dogs: Not required if the family is active and will play with Hank. If another dog is in the home, the dog will need to be active and want to play.
*Energy: high
*Not a candidate for apartment living
