Hank is doing well with his mild case of Mega-E (megaesophagus). He gets in his Bailey Chair himself at mealtime. Hank loves to play, learning to catch a frisbee. He will be great at it, jumping very high in the air and succeeding in a catch! He likes to fetch balls and usually brings them back. He will need additional training in leash walking. Hank is housebroken, heartworm negative, neutered, and tolerates his crate. It is important to keep him in a safe area when you are not around, so he doesn't get into something he should not. He should mature to a medium sized good boy, under forty pounds. Handsome Hank is good with kids, cats, and dogs. Definitely need to keep kitty items out Hank's reach, as he finds everything tasty. This good boy is a real catch!

 

Hank and his 11 siblings were named after legendary country singers. This is their story: His mother, Mountain Mama, wandered up to a feral horse rescue campsite and quickly befriended the rescuers. She needed help! Soon after, she gave birth to a large litter of puppies. A few weeks later a wonderful thing happened - Mama and her 12 puppies were transferred to an SSR foster.  All of Hank's siblings have been adopted.  Hank has been diagnosed with megaesophagus or mega e. This diagnosis should not keep you from adopting this very sweet boy.  All that needs to be done is to have him sit up when he eats and for 10 minutes after. He is a champ at taking his pill at every meal, by syringe after they have been dissolved in water. An elevated water bowl works best for this pup. Hank is a very happy, playful, outgoing puppy.
