Hank Visits for Wet Nose Wednesday [Sponsored]

Hank, a 2-year-old Pit Bull/mix dog, came calling today.

Hank, visited with Andy Rent as he talked about him on his Andy in the Morning show for Wet Nose Wednesday.

Ashley, from the Humane Society of West Michigan, brought Hank into the studios.

According to Dogtime.com,

The American Pit Bull Terrier is one of the so-called bully breeds often labeled a pit bull. In fact, "pit bull" isn't a breed, but a term used to describe the American Pit Bull Terrier, the Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

When raised with the proper training and socialization, the American Pit Bull Terrier makes an excellent companion for children. He is loving and gentle with people and often makes a lousy guard dog because of his tail-wagging eagerness to greet the person at the door. American Pit Bull Terriers are devoted and loyal to their family and will, if necessary, defend them to the death.

These dogs are extremely intelligent and learn commands and tricks with ease. They have a zest for life and love to be involved in everything going on around them. They maintain a puppyish demeanor well into adulthood, and that vitality makes them a joy to live with. Once you have met and gotten to know this breed you will wonder how you ever lived without one.

Ashley also talked about an adoption event this coming Saturday, April 18. From 1 until 3 p.m., the Humane Society of West Michigan will have several dogs, puppies and cats at Henry & Rumble Canine Outfitters ready for adoption. They are located at 2939 Wilson, SW in Grandville. You'll actually, with qualification, be able to adopt and possibly take home a new pet that very day!

You can get all the information on the Humane Society, Hank and pet adopting, by visiting the society's website or call (616) 453-8900.
