When you visit the site, you're greeted with a charming photo of Hank and a headline that reads, "Please adopt this hellion." The entire homepage is filled with snarky text about the hyper pup, like this hilarious line: "Trying to get this dog adopted has been like trying to find a Tickle-Me-Elmo during Christmas ’96."

Goldfish have a reputation as short-lived creatures, but given proper care, they can live as long as 30 years in captivity. The oldest captive goldfish ever recorded was won at a fair in 1956 and died in 1999 at age 43.

Clauder shared a gallery of endearing photos of Hank and added a pretty comedic caption: "When he's not being a destructive a------, he's actually pretty cute."

So, what is Hank really like and how long ago did he burst into his foster mom's life? Clauder first stumbled upon the lively canine May 4 when she found him sitting in the middle of traffic in an industrial area of Houston."Hank was clearly a spirited dog from the moment he leaped into the car, expecting a fabulous new adventure and wanting to be best friends," she told TODAY over email. "Hank was malnourished, dirty, covered in fleas, and clearly mistreated in his life, but with lots of patience and attention (and baths), Hank started to shine like the star that he is."

A Wagging Tail Does Not Always Equal a Happy Dog. Don’t approach a strange dog just because it’s wagging it’s tail. Tail wagging isn’t always the universal sign of happiness – it can also indicate fear or insecurity. Be sure to teach your children about the basics of dog bite prevention.

After posting several "lost dog" posts with no response, Clauder reached out to the organization Friends for Life to sign the pup up for the group's foster program. After all, the timing wasn't exactly right for her to get another pet."We’d just had one of our pets pass the day before finding Hank, so we already knew that we weren’t ready to add another member to our family but of course, being an animal lover, I couldn’t just leave him," she explained.Clauder also has three other pets who are all seniors and aren't the best playmates for Hank, including a small, timid black mouth cur and a miniature pinscher named Sadie.

For a dog who loves to tear apart stuffed animals, make a durable activity ball with a Hol-ee rubber ball, scraps of fabric, and treats.

"Hank adores Sadie. When he tries to play with her, she puts him in his place. Of course, this only encourages him to play harder and starts a cycle that makes us ALL crazy," she said.

The last pet in Clauder's family, a cat named Dorito, enjoys dogs but Hank has a hard time understanding that the cat isn't always in the mood to play.

"Poor Hank just needs a home with an active friend who actually wants to play with him and is physically capable of keeping up with his exuberance," she explained.

Clauder estimates that Hank is just over a year old and she thinks he's a Siberian black mouth cur. Plenty of people have reached out to her about the adorable dog since she launched the website. The website has received mostly positive feedback so far, Clauder said."There are a few folks who don’t understand the approach or humor, but that’s OK. Hank is getting the attention he deserves, which only increases the chances of finding his perfect family," she said.

The tick should come out on its own and be stuck to the cotton ball when you remove it.

The Friends for Life program is currently vetting applicants but they haven't made a decision yet, so there's still time to apply to adopt Hank if you're interested and willing to take on his huge personality.

"Hank is learning new tricks very quickly, so it’s clear that he’s a very intelligent dog. He plays so hard during the day that he sleeps like a log during the night!" Clauder said.
