About Hank Williams (Dachshund) in San Antonio, TX 78217

Hank Williams is waiting for you at Diamond Dachshund Rescue of Texas in San Antonio, TX 78217. Hank Williams is figuring out life in a loving, safe environment. While he is very cautious and slow to trust new people, he has already come a long way since he first arrived in foster care! He also still has a long way to go though, and he will need a very patient home with another playful, confident dog(s) and lots of TLC to heal the trauma of his past life. Hank acts like two different dogs at the same time.

He is very fearful of meeting new people and will need to be on a secure harness anytime he is outside, as he is very skittish. More about Hank: Hank LOVES toys and romping with his young foster brother. He will need a confident, playful canine sibling in his ideal forever home. Hank reacts poorly when meeting new people, especially most men and young children. He still runs away from his foster dad and barks loudly at him whenever he walks from room to room or tries to give him a toy, but he will also seek snuggles from him occasionally when relaxing on the couch and has also begun taking treats from him. Hank LOVES treats and meals, though he also still seems to have some anxiety around meal times. He eats very fast and sometimes throws up afterward, so a slow feed bowl is a good tool to help him slow down. Hank is mostly house trained but not completely. He will need additional patience in a new home as he adjusts to the new environment and schedule. Hank is a very curious boy, but only when he feels very safe. He likes to investigate the dishwasher, look out of windows (so clear off anything you might have on a win
