At 8 months old, Hank was discovered in the woods by a Good Samaritan.
However, instead of exhibiting the typical energy and enthusiasm of a puppy, he was sitting quietly on a discarded dog bed, seemingly unperturbed by the stranger's approach.
Upon discovering Hank in the woods, the Good Samaritan noticed his desperate expression as he sat amongst his old toys and a sealed bag of dog food that he couldn't open.
Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the Samaritan contacted the local animal shelter for assistance.
Staff members from the shelter quickly arrived on the scene to rescue Hank, who they initially feared might behave aggressively due to his survival instincts.
However, they were pleasantly surprised to find that Hank exhibited a different demeanor.
Upon rescuing Hank, the shelter staff took him to the veterinarian for a check-up, where it was discovered that he had a broken leg that had gone untreated for over two weeks.
The medical staff suggested that the pain from the injury was likely the reason he had remained still on his bed in the woods.
Hank was taken by the Good Samaritan to a nearby veterinary hospital where he is currently staying. To prepare for his surgery, he needs to gain a little bit of weight first.
During his stay at the hospital, Hank is enjoying the daily love and cuddles he receives from the veterinary staff. His surgery, which will be life-changing, is scheduled to take place soon.
Hank's leg was successfully fixed and he quickly warmed up to people, happily wagging his tail at everyone he met.
Rosa Fond, the founder of the organization, revealed that they received numerous adoption requests for Hank. Once he completes his recovery, he will be ready for adoption. It's a heartwarming conclusion to his story!
