Hank

I am a 2 year old pug mix that Pug Rescue Austin saved from a local kill shelter. I'm an athletic and playful brindle mix who is loyal to all my friends-- human and canine:) I weigh in at around 30 lbs and have the cutest face and ears. I know basic commands and I'm obedient in my foster home where I feel very relaxed. What I love to do more than anything is hiking with my friends and taking trips to the dog park to make new ones, too!

I will do best in a home with a calm, confident leader who understands my need for exercise and socialization. If you are interested in learning more about me, please go to www.austinpugrescue.com and fill out an adoption application.
