My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

3 year old Biscuit may be a shy guy, but he is yearning for love from a giving person. He calls for attention from the window in his room. He is so grateful when you offer him a treat, but is frightened if you reach out to pet him. This cute hound is learning that being touched seems to be nice. One of our volunteers is winning him over with soft massage.

Though 46 lb Biscuit walks fine on lead unless he is frightened. He need to be leashed with a gentle hand. We don’t know what happened in his past that makes him fear being collared. He was found as a stray along with another hound that seems to be his mom (he adores her). Biscuit loves other dogs and is coming to find out that people are pretty nice too. This boy really deserves the chance to have a secure home and loving care.
