Hank -10 Wk Old Border Collie x Kelpie x(On Trial)

Hank is a 10 week old Border Collie x Kelpie x Catahoula, a sweet and adorable smart boy, ready to be your forever friend.

I'm Hank, and I’m looking for my forever family that will cherish me. I was rescued from the pound and am loving the family life. I’m placid, sweet, curious, playful and very smart. I’m very dog-friendly as I have been living with my foster carers Staffy girl. We play chasies and tug of war with the rope. I’m consolidating my crate training, though I prefer to sit at your feet. I can be timid as this life outside of the pound can be a little overwhelming and I like to feel safe. My confidence is growing every day and will continue to do so with every new experience.

I love bath time and playing in water. I’m a inside dog when my parents are home, and I love to be around my humans but I love to go outside to play independently as well, I keep myself entertained with my toys and enrichment games and love to chew leaves and grass, or sticks. I must have a 5ft fences and a large yard so I can run around in the yard as I’m an energetic breed. I will happily spend the day outside when my carers are at work.

I’m consolidating my obedience, and know the basic commands. I’m super smart, inquisitive and receptive to training. This will need to be ongoing training as I’m young and learning every day. I’m not intrinsically jumpy, I’m respectful of your space. I may get excited by small children so I’d be better suited to a family with children over 5 years old or experienced with dogs
