Ed Hardy - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Whittier, California

Hardy, a former backyard dog turned bed hog is still patiently waiting for his forever home. Hardy has been in foster care for over a year now.

Hardy has come a long way from the scared dog many saw in the shelter - he is curious and brave, exploring new things and people cautiously. He has strong boundaries and prefers to come into your space, rather than you come into his - until he trusts you then hes a love bug!

He loves bones, watching the world through a screen door, being near his human, playing tug or fetch with his toys inside and putting himself in his crate when hes all done interacting with people. A real introvert.

Hardy currently knows the commands go (for his crate), sit & shake, will sometimes speak and is really learning what leave it means! He walks kindly on a leash, is currently being muzzle trained and is used to apartment life / spending 8 hours a day in his crate. A commitment to continuing crate usage is required.

Hardy is very much a threenager and loves to play and talk back with a sweet little howl. He is crate trained, house trained and can settle into place terrifically! Boy is allergic to .

Would be the happiest in a calm, child free home. No cats. Small dogs welcome Large dogs welcome with SLOW introductions.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
