DESCRIPTION
At around 8 months old, Hector is a big, sweet goof ball! He is a perfect blend of busy puppy and official couch potato. This guy is 70 pounds, maybe a little St Bernard mixed with some hound dog sprinkled with a whole bunch of cute. He is quite well behaved, potty trained but still on the active hunt for some mischief. Leash training in process. His new family needs to be available for him to touch, sit by and snuggle with: the couch, the bed, the car! Great with kids, and other dogs, cats are an unknown. Neutered, microchipped and up to date on all his vaccinations. He is currently being fostered in Highlands Ranch. LuckyDayRescue.org to apply.
