Hello! I’m Hank the Hound… I am a male (neutered) 5 year old Plott Hound located in Charlottesville, Virginia. I am currently up to date on all my vaccinations and take heartworm/flea/tick prevention every month. I don’t have any other medical concerns. I am potty-trained and do okay at home while my humans are away at work.
I am currently seeking a new home as I do not like my human’s toddler. I would do well in a home with adults or older children. I am not the biggest fan of other dogs so I would prefer to be your one and only. But I grew up with a dog brother, so I can learn to be a dog sibling if given time to acclimate. I tolerate cats, but it takes some time for me to warm up to them. I don’t know how I would do around farm animals or other indoor animals as I haven’t met any so far. As a Plott Hound, my breed is known for bear hunting, but I’ve never been hunting and am not a fan of loud noises like hunting rifles.
I am happy to lounge or snuggle with you but just say the word and I’ll race you out the door for a walk or run around the neighborhood. I’ve got good stamina for runs around the neighborhood or trails.
I will turn 6 years old on Valentine’s 2025. So I’m officially in my adult dog era which means I’m well trained at this point. My humans sent me to training camp for three weeks a couple years ago and I came back with a variety of commands that I can show off. In fact – this training program allows for free refresher training sessions for the rest of my life! So if my new family and I want to brush up on our training words/skills then we can at no cost!
The one thing I still need to work on is passing other dogs on the road without barking or growling. My bark may occasionally sound mighty – like a big protector – but I can get nervous and scared too. I really am a loving pet, I just need a home away from my human’s toddler. In fact, my humans are willing to provide my training materials, bed, and some of my favorite toys to my new family so that I can easily adjust. My adoption fee is only $25.
If I sound like I could be a good fit for you, please contact my human, Emily Thomas at 817-233-8338 or by email at emilythomas1219@gmail.com
