Hank - Golden Retriever and Border Collie Dog for Adoption in Falls Church, Virginia

Hi, I'm Hank and I'm a handsome 5 1/2 year old boy. My birthday is January, 2021. I'm probably a golden retriever/border collie mix. I'm about 70lbs and am full grown.

I was adopted when I was 2 months. Sadly, my family now has young kids and does not have the time to give me the exercise and attention that I need.

I' am a very loyal, smart, playful and energetic boy.

I'm crate trained and house trained.

I'm already neutered and am up to date on vaccines and up to date on my preventatives.

I love women and older kids. Because of my size and energy level, I shouldn't go to a home with young kids. Men are okay too, but some men scare me.

I also love other dogs but I'm not good with cats or other small animals.

I have a lot of energy. I'd be a great walking or running partner. As a border collie, I need exercise and mental stimulation. But also I'm approaching middle age so I'll be settling down more and more. Five and a half is such a good age. I'm not a wild puppy but am still healthy and active and have a lot of years ahead of me.

I like being with my people and don't like it when they leave me alone. I cry and am clingy when they go. Sometimes I'll try to run out and climb in the car with my family.

Overall, I'm a handsome, wonderful boy who is looking for a smart, active partner who I can love and spend the rest of my life with.

I'm being fostered in N. Virginia and can be.adopted to the DC metro area, the Richmond area and the Harrisonburg, Virginia area.

My adoption fee is $300.

If you think you think you could give me a great home, please contact my foster mom at dmmarson@hotmail.com.

Thanks.
Hank
