A dog adoption ad has gone viral for its less-than-subtle way of trying to find the 'hellion' dog, Hank, a new home.

Desperate to find a new owner for the Siberian Black Mouth Cur, his foster mother Christine Clauder created the website Please Adopt Hank, describing Hank as so energetic "it's like he drank all of our coffee".

The ad, created on July 2, reads: "While we were parked outside the Red Bull factory, Hank flew into our passenger side and immediately helped himself to our stash of road trip snacks like a teenager raiding the fridge after school".

"He's 54 pounds of pure, unadulterated, kinetic energy with eyes like the ocean. Unfortunately, that ocean also sank the Titanic."

The ad's generous use of expletives calls Hank "loyal AF" and "fancy AF", painting a clear picture for potential new owners about just what kind of lively pup they might be tagging up with.

While the ad may be a tad brazen, it notes that the Clauder family doesn't not love Hank, but they simply can't keep up.

"His foster mum has several other critters which are tiny," the ad reads.

Despite the coverage the ad has received, Hank is yet to be re-homed, but Clauder says she's not too worried.

"Siberian huskies are extremely intelligent dogs and they are always getting into shenanigans and his personality matches that completely," she told Insider.

With Siberian huskies also being very trainable dogs, the riotous pup is sure to be snatched up, having already learnt to sit, shake and lay-down.
