Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Howie here – what’s the haps? Howie you doing? I’m just hangin’ here at the shelter waiting for my forever home. I’m a patient guy, playful yet shy, and over-the-top sweet. I’ve never really had a stable home, so I don't really know what to expect…but I bet it’s nice. I just need a patient family to raise me right, give me lots of love, lots of guidance and lots of training. I have loads of potential but am lacking stability…sometimes it feels like I don’t know which way is up! So, a patient family with children 6+ will be best for me. I’m a bit shy around other dogs initially but I am learning how to play and the more socialization and playtime I get the funner it becomes! The more I learn, the more guidance I receive, the more places I go, the more confident I will be! So Howie’s about you hurry in and say howdy to Howie! 11 months old-48lbs. My adoption fee is $200 and includes: neuter, microchip, 1 month pet health insurance, reduced-cost training class, free vet exam, leash/collar, toy & treat packet, food sample.
