23-005 Hank’s  owner was moving to New Zealand and could not take him with her. She’d had this handsome, 8-month-old purebred Golden since the dog was only 8 weeks old. He’d had the necessary vaccines but needed to be tested for valley fever and heartworm and neutered.  Hank  was initially placed with an adopter in Scottsdale, but after just a few day  that adopter decided  Hank  was just too much puppy for him. The adopter very generously donated a new crate, a Sidekick leash, and  Hank’s  adoption fee (thank you so much)! We transported him to another adoptive family in Queen Creek. They were looking for a companion for their resident Golden,  Violet . When  Hank  first arrived,  Violet  didn’t much like  Hank’s  energy and warned him off, but transporter Connie felt that, given time, it would work out, and it has. They let us know: 

Hank , aka  Crazy Hank , came to our family and he is perfect for us! We originally were nervous to raise another Golden puppy and a male! Well, little did we know he would complete our family! We also have a 3-year-old Golden girl named  Violet  .  Hank  has brought so much energy to our family and keeps  Violet  on her toes! It wasn’t easy at first, but the two  are now inseparable.  Hank’s  athletic ability is so much fun – he loves to chase a ball, doesn’t always bring it back but loves to play. He walks incredibly well on his Sidekick leash and loves to lead the way! His big sister is even sharing her bed with him now! The two play pretty much non-stop! We are so thankful he found his way to our hearts! Such a blessing.
