Hank's Journey

30/01/2025

Please share. Well guys - we are back at it. Last night I was contacted by an amazing person who picked up a dog running near Hemlock who is severely severely emaciated and has clearly been on her own for a very long time. Add estimate she probably weighs about 50% of what she's supposed to weigh
She needs immediate vet care and she will be going to Eastridge Animal Hospital in Maple Ridge at 12:20 today to be seen by a vet . If you feel so led, would you mind helping this precious one out with a donation to toward her vet care?
She will be scanned for a microchip though from my exerience in rescuing dogs, it's highly improbable that she has one. Efforts will be made to see if perhaps she has been lost from a loving home but the immediate importance is saving her life with vet care. She is going to an incredible foster home where she will be very slowly re-fed to ensure that she doesn't go into organ failure from being nourished too quickly .
We may also be looking for a home for her once she is healthy if she can't be reunited with loving owners
Thanks all
💕Heather

Hank is thriving. He's so happy and loves his life. He's always wagging his tail and smiling. He still gets a little nervous with new things. For instance, he normally runs to his food because he loves to eat but didn't know what to do with the food when it was in a different bowl!

Crying as I type: I am looking for a forever home for a mid size, very cuddly, very sweet 4 year old male rescue dog. Great with people and other dogs off leash. Needs training on interacting with other dogs on-leash. You wouldn't believe this guy's story. My heart is breaking and I wish I could take him in but I just can't have another dog. Please PM directly if you know of any FANTASTIC homes. No adoption fee but he will absolutely need to be neutered. Fully vaccinated. PM for more details.

Hank says: "it's okay. I'll hold it. I'm scared of this loud rain"

Hank loves his life.

It took two summers but Hank finally swam on his own accord yesterday - 3 times- and he was SOOO proud of himself. I was in the water and he swam out to me. I'm so proud of him for building the courage and confidence! Didn't get it on video but his typical position is to lay in the water instead of swim lol . He has come so far and I'm so proud of him. I fall more in love with him every single day 💕💕

Hank lovers!: Norman is looking for a foster home (or furrrrever home!). He is good with cats other dogs when introduced properly, needs a quiet home, and quiet out of the downtown area. The foster program covers the cost of food and everything he needs comes with him. He has had his shots and is vet certified .

He was rescued and has been in a foster home for three weeks but due to a serious health issue with his foster mom, needs needs a temporary home until he can find his forever home! Please contact my friend Marion Dickson at Thank Dog I Am Out Dog Rescue to apply to foster!

Hank's sleeping position today

ONE YEAR OF LOVE!!!! Just over one year for Mr Hank. Particularly in the last few weeks, I have seen Hank change considerably! He's very truly happy. He walks around the house wagging his tail, he jumps for joy, he wiggles in excitement, he wants to sit next to me all the time, and he's overall just so much less anxious. . I'm going to try decreasing the dose of his Prozac to see where he's at on the lower dose knowing this if he loses any of his joy or his anxiety increases, we will go back up in a second. Quality of life is what is most important for this big goofball. He doesn't typically let people snuggle his whole body as he prefers to have just his head snuggled, but Hank knows that my brother who has autism and down syndrome is a safe person and the two of them stayed on the couch like this for the majority of the day yesterday!

This is what happens when Hank and Playa don't listen. They get stuck and I have to rescue them in very deep and soft, sinky snow. It took a good 10 mins for me to get to them as I had to pack snow before I could step! Momma wasn't impressed, Hankster ! It was his exciting idea and Playa followed him on down!

Dixie got new stairs for Christmas but Hank thinks they are scary. It'll likely take him a week or two before he "trusts them!"
