Hank

We recently received the sad news that our 2015 alumnus, Hank, has crossed the rainbow bridge. His family shared that he suffered a hemoabdomen, and they lovingly said goodbye in late 2024. They are heartbroken, saying Hank was “the best pup ever” and will forever hold a special place in their hearts.

In a beautiful tribute to Hank’s memory, his family has signed up to foster—hoping to give back to rescue and maybe, someday, find their next “Hank.”

Hank’s journey with SEGSP Rescue began when a police officer brought him to a vet’s office after he was hit by a car. Thanks to the care of his foster mom (and our Georgia Volunteer Coordinator), Jordan, and the amazing veterinary team, Hank made a full recovery. In late 2015, he was adopted by the Vaught family, where he enjoyed a long, happy, and very loved life.

Run free, sweet Hank. You’ll always be part of the SEGSP family.

Grief is like the ocean; it comes in waves, ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim.   – Vicki Harrison
