Hi, my name is Huckleberry! I'm a PURPLE pawprint, which means I will fit well into a home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:
-Personality: Energetic, happy, excitable, friendly, loves people, big goofy boy
-Can Live with Kids: Unknown history with kids. Huckleberry can be a bit of a bulldozer when he's excited and could easily knock over small children (on accident, of course!). He will need a home with sturdy dog-savvy kids ages 12+.
-Can Live with Cats: Unknown history with cats - will need proper introductions to ensure everyone gets along
-Can Live with Dogs: Yes, all introductions done at WHS.
-Can do Apartment Living: No thanks! This big silly boy needs more space.
-Potty Trained: Appears so!
-Bite History: No
-Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Yes, one private lesson
-Energy Level: Medium
-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes, a neuter
-Additional Information:
Huckleberry is a silly goofy guy who came to the shelter as a stray. We don't know much about his history, but what we do know is he's a lover boy at heart who wants to spend all his time with his people. This sweet pup is eager to please, but has probably not had much in the way of training. He would benefit greatly from consistent positive reinforcement based training - this will help build his confidence, refine his manners, and establish a bond with his person. Have we mentioned Huckleberry LOVES people? He would be happiest in a home where someone is present often and/or plans to take him along on their adventures. He is NOT a dog who can be left alone 8+ hours a day.
If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
