My story

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

Please contact foster at bchris716@bellsouth.net

Hurley is the bestest boy. He gets along well with our two large, neutered male dogs. One is 11, and the other is 4. Hurley plays with the younger dog, but is also calm with the older fellow. His hobbies include giving kisses, carrying around tennis balls and chew toys, hanging around his people and dog brothers, eating treats, and rolling in the grass. He is currently slightly underweight, but is eating three meals a day to rectify that.

Fast facts about Hurley:

-Housetrained with frequent potty breaks in our fenced in yard. He has had one accident here, but nothing since the first day.
-Crate trained. He will go in his crate (sometimes begrudgingly), and will settle quickly. He has not had accidents in his crate while here and is crated 8 hours overnight.
-Knows sit, and we’re working on wait.
-He goes to his dog bed when told for the most part and will settle. We suspect he has had some training at some point.
-Plays appropriately with our dogs, and takes correction well if he gets too rambunctious.
-Has not shown signs of any resource guarding with our dogs or people.
-Hurley does well taking cues from resident dogs, and has responded appropriately when they communicate with him.
-Tolerated his bath and nail clipping
-Does not get on furniture or counter surf.
-Has not been destructive here, and does not pick things up that are not dog toys.
-Is an excellent car rider.
-Has not been exposed to small children, but does well with our teenager.

-Hurley pulls on his leash and definitely needs some work in this area.
-Hurley fixates on our cats, and should be in a home without them.
