Hawk is:
Neutered: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized

More about Hawk:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: No, but he has done well with free roam when home alone, which he prefers to being crated.
Leash walking: Doing well overall!
Dog social: Yes! He lives with a confident and playful resident dog in his foster home and has been doing very well. His own confidence seems to really improve with another dog's company, so he will need to be adopted into a home with a dog friend.
Cat social: Not a match
Kid friendly: Likely not a match, as he has seemed fearful of kids playing or shouting when he passes them on walks

Hawk likes:
- Getting in his fruits and veggies - he loves a healthy snack!
- Yak chews, squeaky/crinkly toys, and puzzle games
- Playing with a dog pal!

Hawk is a cuddly little guy who wants nothing more than to be with his person and his dog sibling. He is the cuddliest boy who loves to take naps with his head tucked under your chin or perched on your shoulder. When he wants attention while you're working, he'll climb up into your lap so that you can pet him. Hawk loves to squeeze himself into one dog bed with his foster brother, but is also the most playful boy, and loves to show off to his dog pal by doing wild parkour zoomies, barrel rolls and somersaults.

Hawk's adoption fee is $300, and he is ready to settle into his perfect forever home!
