Hawk is a very unique creation..His parents were a Beagle and a Boxer…He is an elderly dog who must have been quite a catch in his prime. Hawk owns dark velvety eyes, lost in a sandy face. He seems adrift in a place that is not his and away from his loved ones.He must be baffled by his tight quarters and  all these people who are getting him out of his den to take him here and there and nowhere he really wants to go…. Still, he goes with the flow….and complies… Hawk is easy to leash  and walks very nicely all around Jefferson park. He does a lot of sniffing around. Well..the Beagle in his family tree. He does his business on the way without marking. He is quite an unusual looking pooch. A bit thin but so well dressed in a most silky latte coat. His hinds are a little bit weak but his will to stroll is stronger . He does have a special “spot” on the left hip, sending his leg into a happy motion..Hawk can sit on command and likes my treats that he takes politely from my hand.  He does not object other dogs, birds or squirrels passing by. Hawk  was relinquished into our care as his master moved to a place not allowing pets. We are told that he was friendly to strangers and children but never really mingled with other dogs or cats. He is said to be independent while affectionate, well mannered, house trained  and lately liked to rest a lot. Hawk is no “springchick”. Not everyone is willing to take on a boisterous youngster but rather would host a senior and offer him the chance to be loved and cared for in his golden years . Old age comes with its issues but caring for and elderly pet can be mighty rewarding and heartwarming. Hawk is at the Manhattan Care Center hoping to spend the rest of his life with you..

PROFILE:

Hawk A1083359 is an 11yr old neutered male light brown & white Boxer/Beagle mix who was adopted from another shelter 11yrs ago and is being surrendered due to landlord issues. He was last seen by a veterinarian for vaccines in 2014 and currently has a mass on his chest (noticed during intake) and his legs appear weak at times.

Socialization:

Around strangers Hawk is friendly/outgoing. He’s watched children grow up and was gentle, exuberant, relaxed & playful with them also the adult in the home. Hawk hasn’t been around other animals nor has he ever bitten/scratched any person or animal.

Behavior:

Hawk isn’t bothered by the following: having his food/food bowl, toys/treats touched/moved, being moved off of furniture, being brushed, being bathed or being disturbed while sleeping/resting. He hasn’t had his nails trimmed. If someone approaches the home/family member Hawk will bark at them for a few minutes.

For A New Family to Know:

Hawk is described as friendly, affectionate & independent with a low-medium activity level. Hawk enjoys resting. He’s mostly an indoor only dog who sleeps on a dog bed & is walked 2-3x a day. Hawk eats dry Pedigree 2-3x a day. He will have accidents in the home if someone takes too long to take him out. When left home alone Hawk is well behaved and his known command is “sit”.

Intake Behavior:

Hawk allowed all handling. He allowed to be scanned (-), collared & taken pictures of including positioning him during his photo session which was a little difficult as she was very interested in the cats that were in kennels nearby. Hawk was then walked to his kennel where we assisted with placing him into it as he didn’t want to go in. Hawk’s “spot” was found as I was petting him. It’s on his left hip
