Harter's Hospice Rescue

We are a senior dog rescue. We focus on the elderly, sick and dying. We provide all the medical care to help the dogs get well and hopefully adopted. We also provide hospice care to terminally ill dogs abandoned by their families. Myself, along with the vet and the foster family collaborate on care, whether holistic/hospice or traditional medicinal care. When we have room and there are no seniors available to bring in to us we do take any age dog into the rescue.

Meet Hank

My name is Hank, aka Mr. Hank, aka Hanky Panky, aka Hanker Pankers. Although I may look like One-Eyed Willie, I’m more Goonie than pirate. I’m estimated to be 12 years old, but don’t write me off because I can still walk briskly and play and explore. That said, my favorite pastime is keeping the sofa cushions warm while snoring – but not in a log-sawing way, it’s a soothing snore, I promise.  I’m fully housebroken and Doggy Door Certified (if there was a certificate for that, I’d have it with honors). I love a fenced yard where I can explore and enjoy the sun and roll in the grass.  I love to go on car rides, too. I’m great with other dogs – I’m currently living with 7 other dogs ranging in size from 25 to 65 pounds – but I’m not really a fan of the felines. I haven’t yet met a person I didn’t like, so long as they give me happy scritches.    My left eye had to be yeeted. There was a ton of pressure in it and my foster mom gave me meds and took care of it until the eye just quite literally died. I am SO happy to be relieved of that annoying, stupid eyeball. I LOVE BEING A GOONIE PUP! I still do all of the things I was doing and more because I am more comfortable. PLEASE DON’T PASS ME UP. I already love you. Hhpr.rescuegroups.org
