My story

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

If you’re not from the south, you may not know that “hoss” is a common term of endearment for those you respect. We can definitely understand how our Hoss got his name; his volunteer friends think he’s a top dog with many esteemable qualities!

Here’s what his volunteer fans have to say:

“Sweet Hoss is a true gem! He was friendly when I met him for the first time at his kennel door. Once in a play yard, he went potty and then came over to me for snuggles. In fact, he climbed right up into my lap to give me tons of kisses! He engaged in a little bit of dainty play with his kennelmate, but he mostly just wanted to be right by my side or across my lap to snuggle and cuddle me! This boy is a true lover, a gentle giant! He is a relaxed and laid-back dude who I can envision making a wonderful companion for a variety of family types.”

“I LOOOOVE him!! He’s so sweet!”

Hoss shares his with another PACC pup and has been easygoing overall when meeting other dogs in playgroup. He’d like to meet any potential future furry roommates before heading home to ensure a good fit. If you’re looking for an affectionate, calm, gentle and sweet boy who will keep you toasty with his velvet fur and warm heart, come meet Hoss today!
