Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hickory, aka Chuppa, is the sweetest boy! He's looking for a home where he can continue on his health journey with a loving family. Upon his arrival to the shelter, his skin was so infected and itchy that he was 90% bald. After some meds and TLC, he has been given a new leash on life and he's ready to find a home where he'll get spoiled! He likes to talk, especially if you have treats, and he knows how to sit like a perfect boy!
Volunteers say "Hickory was a perfect boy! He went for a walk at Stephen's Lake Park and got a pup cup. He was relaxed and did not bark at any people or dogs that passed on the trail. I would take Hickory out again in a heartbeat!"
"Hickory was an absolute expert in the car. As we drove he just looked out the window and then laid down for a nap. We took a walk around Mizzou's campus and he did great with all the foot traffic. He loved playing with his squeaky toy on the quad. We ended our day with a well deserved pup cup. Overall, Hickory is a very sweet, goofy, and playful dog."
"Hickory and I went to Starbucks to get a pup cup, hiked through Grindstone Nature Area, and drove around Columbia. Hickory is such a curious dog who loves to rest and relax. He's also crazy smart and well behaved. I believe this dog would best be with an adopter who loves to rest and relax but gets out of the house from time to time."
