My story

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

Disclaimer: This animal is not in Anderson custody. and is a courtesy post to help a member of the community rehome directly without shelter intervention. Any adoption inquiries should be directed to the owner at (630) 235-8013 or bprusank@gmail.com. Anderson Humane makes no guarantees regarding medical or behavioral status of this animal, and the current owner is solely responsible for disclosing any challenges or concerns.

Huxley is a large male Bernedoodle. He will be 2 on the 4th of July (2024), and weighs about 70 lbs. He is house broken, crate trained, and obedience trained. He is neutered and up to date on vaccinations/vet care. He is a people dog! He loves long walks, visiting the dog park, and playing in the yard. His favorite things to chew on are moose and elk antlers.

Huxley is looking for a calm home. We have 4 young children, and the commotion in our home is just too much for him. He will be happiest in a new home that is quiet and with no children. Huxley is energetic, but has a more timid personality. He can be defensive if he is feeling nervous. He prefers to have time to warm up to guests and approach them when he is ready. He feels safest at our side. Huxley would love a home with an active and gentle owner. Maybe a work from home companion? Or a new brother to another energetic dog? He is smart, loving, and wants to be a good boy!

Photos are attached. Currently, his coat is trimmed short because it's been so hot. When it grows out, he has beautiful Bernie curls. I've also included a couple of his puppy photos.
