Second Chance at Forever: Sweet GSP Hank Needs Active Home

Hank showed up at the Shelter several months before coming to the Rescue. Unlike many of the other dogs at the Shelter, Hank's tail wagged with delight as he was adopted when he was made available. While his adopter was familiar with the breed, they soon encountered a number of unforeseen challenges. When they exhausted their resources, they turned to California GSP Rescue for help. 

The adopter was initially confronted with the challenge of introducing a new dog to their GSP, a companion they've had for years. Despite Hank's gentle spirit, their hearts sank as their long-time beloved GSP was initially reluctant to accept the new family member. Unlike many others who adopt from the Shelter and are met with similar challenges, they did not return Hank to the Shelter. With persistence and dedication, they managed the dogs and integrated them into their house. Little did they know, a greater challenge was just around the corner. 

Hank seemed to have it made. He was loved, exercised, and had an older brother growing fonder of him each passing day. He thought he was in his forever home, but something happened that affected the lives of his adopters. Just as he got settled, things changed. There was talk of finding him a new home, and when that wasn't possible, things got cloudy as the adopter mentioned taking him back to the Shelter. Fortunately, someone thought to reach out to the Rescue that had been contacted when the adopter's dog didn't appear like he wanted a little brother. Hank wouldn't face the uncertainty of the other dogs in the crowded Shelter. He would be going to a Rescue that understood the breed's needs, and would find Hank the forever home he thought he had. 

In the short amount of time Hank has been with California GSP Rescue, they have seen how sweet Hank is. While he is active and will need someone that can give him the exercise he needs, in return he will be a truly great companion. How or why he initially showed up at the Shelter is beyond imagination. 

What reason could someone have to put Hank's life at risk? This is a question that will likely never be answered.

If you are active and looking for a sweet GSP, perhaps Hank is the perfect candidate. Putting in an adoption application would be the next step in giving this boy a forever home. If you cannot adopt, please consider sharing Hank's information to help us find his loving, active person, who would never consider taking any dog to the Shelter.
