My story

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

Hero is a young gentle dog who was neglected for some time before he was rescued. When he first got out of the shelter, he was more than ten pounds overweight, barely able to walk without stumbling, and unable to settle down or relax.

Despite the amount of neglect he suffered, he is sweet, very people oriented, and solicitous. He loves people and other dogs. He gets along with all other 6 dogs at his foster family, including another foster dog named Max who got out of a different shelter on the same day. Hero and Max are kind of like soul mates.

Hero works very hard to get your attention and loves to cuddle all the time. He has gotten a lot of training since being freed and is a fast learner. He is completely housebroken and well-behaved at the dog park without a leash. He really looks you in the eye, and you should be warned it is very hard to say no to him.
