My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hossa’s Facebook Photos

 



Marian Hossa is an AWESOME Hockey player for the Stanely Cup WINNING Chicago Blackhawks and in honor of him- we named our new fella Hossa.  Our sweet boy has suffered some abuse for sure and came in nearly 15lbs underweight.  His foster family has done a great job helping him get better and he is learning to trust that some folks can be kind.  Hossa would do best in a home with an established dog pack or a home with a patient family to help help continue to gain his confidence.  He can be very charming. 

If you are interested in adopting this pet through our rescue organization, please go to the Adopting A Friend section to read about our pre-adoption policies and vetting protocols.
