Hank

Hank is a 4 year old pit mixed with German wirehair pointer. He is good with our toddler and cats and has been around other dogs and is good with them too. He unfortunately has skin allergies that we can no longer afford with a growing family. He has always been a good boy and aims to please but we sadly do not have the time for him that we did before having a family.
