About Hank

Adoption Fee: 500
Bulldog / Basset Hound
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Hank was picked up by Animal Control in Childress Texas. They got a call and Hank and a large pitbull were at a baby foal that was deceased. Hank and the other dog were covered in blood and it is unknown if they killed the foal or if it was born dead and they got involved afterwards, but either way Hank should never be around livestock of any kind just in case. No cats either. Hank is very dog friendly and super chill unless there is alot of activity. with high energy and anxiety he will nip so needs a calmer home. He's in my rescue with 24 other dogs. he's chill except For example-when I'm outside playing with the other dogs, he gets overly excited and nips and can break the skin. He thinks he's playing but I also feel there's some protectiveness involved as well. He is fairly lazy and would do best in a calm home with no young or super active kids or parents. He is very bowlegged due to his basset blood and has a limp on one of his rear legs but not too bad. His rear leg was xrayed and found to have a cruciate. To repair that would be a cappilary (something) and costs $1500. He is mobile without this surgery and due to low funds, and the fact that it doesn't hinder his mobility, my vet made it clear that an adopter has more to be concerned about with his front bowlegged feet than his rear leg anyway. He did have a large cyst in his mouth that was removed during his neuter. The vet and I believe it was probably from a dog bite that got infected. We are looking for a bulldog breed knowledgeable home who can provide the appropriate care for his hips and joints etc. He's currently on fishoil and cosequin. He is located in Amarillo Texas now and we require an approved adopter to pick up we do not transport. We believe that Hank is between two and three years old. Super cute! Hanks bones and joints aren't good as he's gotten it from both the bulldog and basset side. However he does get around just fine but any adopter will have issues with any of his legs in the future I believe. We are attempting to fundraiser for the surgery but for now he's not in pain and gets around just fine. We have tons of additional pictures. He was born with bad joints but he's mobile and super fun guy
