hooch

Hooch is a gentle, quiet boy with the sweetest little happy trots that are guaranteed to steal your heart! He may be calm by nature, but he’s always trying to convince his sister, Grace, to play.Hooch is potty trained, crate trained, walks nicely on a leash, and knows his cues — “sit,” “treat,” and “wait.” He is truly always on his best behavior and is such a good boy! He loves attention and affection, though he prefers to enjoy his meals without interruptions (who can blame him?!). He has medium to low energy. Most of the time he prefers staying cozy with his people but he loves chewing on durable toys! Hooch certainly appreciates having a variety of toys to choose from and is not afraid to put their durability to the test.He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once he warms up, his loving personality shines through. He is quick to open up! In his previous home, Hooch did wonderfully with other dogs, children, and even cats — he’s a well-rounded companion who just wants to feel safe and loved again. Introductions should still be taken slowly and we can always provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed! Recently Hooch & Grace were adopted together and then returned a few days later due to getting into a scuffle. The cause of their argument is unknown but it is important for adopters to know so they can be mindful of their space and surroundings. It is also incredibly important that Hooch is given time to adapt to his new home as anxiety or stress can influence behaviors that we wouldn`t typically see!Hooch came to the shelter with his sister, Grace, and their kitty friend, Bella, after their family developed severe allergies. Now, this sweet boy is ready for a fresh start and a forever home to call his own.
