Hank was obviously well cared for at some point in his life. He knows sit, down, come, and “gimme paw” really well. He will pull on a leash but does fine with a choker collar. Hank is a large Springer, weighing in at 81lbs. He is tall with a large frame but still needs to shed some pounds. His foster family has put him on Purina diet dog food and and excercise program consisting of lots of walks.
Initially, Hank was shy in his foster home, but he seems to be overcoming this and loves to cuddle. He has those big, beautiful, adoring Springer eyes. Hank does get treatment for allergies and is being checked for hypothyroidism. The hypothyroidism can be what is causing his weight gain.

Hank does not have hypothyroidism; he is just overweight.

Hank went to a wonderful family!
