Hank arrived at NCCR on 3/17/25, taken in when his owners failed to claim him after he was found wandering stray locally. He is young adult male Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler), thought to be around 2 years old. Hank is very friendly with people, and still has plenty of playful puppy energy. He may get along with other dogs, too. Cattle Dogs tend to do best when they have a sport or job to keep their minds and bodies busy – no couch potatoes here! Hank is hoping to find a family that can give him the daily exercise, playtime, and activity he needs to keep him happy.
More info to come as we get to know him better!
If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Adoption Application. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email your question to adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day.
We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.
*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them.
Hank is sponsored by Dorinda White in memory of Daniel Courtine, Steve and Diana Lucas in memory of Zeus Brantley Greenough, Sarah Vosz, Kevin and Barbara Kantz, Diane Mogavero. Stacey Curry, Leanne DiNicola, Chelsea Barber and Suzanne, Tillie Mae and Mimzie in memory of Bron Bron. Thank you!
