Are you right for Hank?
Hank is looking for a calm and fun home, preferably in a more rural area, with active adopters who can give him all the physical and mental stimulation he needs to thrive! Hank struggles with changes to his routine, so a home without too much hustle and bustle and a predictable routine will help him to settle. Hank is a large lad who doesn’t always realise how big he is and he gets quite boisterous during play, so a home with children aged 16 years and over would be best for him as he could easily knock younger children over by accident. Hank is very alert when on walks and can be a bit over the top when seeing other dogs, so he would benefit from walks in quieter areas where he will be able to relax and explore without too much distraction. Although he can mix with some other dogs successfully on lead, he does need close management so as not to become overly boisterous or frustrated during his interactions. Our training and behaviour team will give lots of advice and support to Hank’s adopters in how to manage his dog interactions once he goes home. Hank does have a history of being housetrained in his previous home, but he may need a refresher once he goes home so he will need access to his own private garden with minimum 6 foot fences to keep him secure. Hank i finds being left on his own quite difficult, so he will need adopters who will be home for the majority of his day, especially when he is first adopted with slow introductions to being left once he is feeling confident in his new home. Hank will need to meet his adopters multiple times prior to going home to build a strong bond and he will need visits from our behaviour team once he goes home so adopters will need to live within 45 minutes driving distance from the Canterbury Rehoming Centre so please bear this in mind prior to applying for him. If you rent your property, please have written permission from your landlord ready once you have submitted your application to avoid delays, as it will be required
