My name is Garth!

ABOUT GARTH
Ready to have some fun?! Come meet our playful, goofy guy Garth! He is a 9-month-old cattle dog mix who could not be more true to the breed, as he has a go-go-go personality! Garth came to HAP from a high-intake shelter in Alabama when they no longer had space for him. Despite being at the shelter, this guy is full of life! In true heeler fashion, he is a high-energy, active pup looking for a job to do. Garth would make the perfect running or walking buddy, as he loves spending time outside. He LOVES toys and is very food-motivated, making the training possibilities endless! When he's not chasing a toy around our fenced fields, he can usually be found patiently waiting by his kennel door for some attention. After some exercise and play, he melts into a laid-back snuggle bug! Garth already knows some basic commands and walks well with a harness. We are working on his manners, as he can be jumpy or nippy at times, though he always means well. Due to this, he would probably do best in a home with older kids who can understand he means no harm!

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.
