Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hoops is a 10 month old male who came into the shelter on 7/30 as a stray.

SEPTEMBER - Hoops loves all the toys. He plays with everything in front of him - little toys, big toys, he doesn't care. He's a really energetic guy so toys are a good way to try to tire him out (which I'm not sure we can do). Hoops can be a strong puller on leash and can be all over the place. It's probable in his young life he was never trained on how to walk on a leash. He is treat motivated and can use some help learning how to take them gently. Hoops would benefit from an adopter who understand that he needs training (and lots of playtime) to help him grow into a great adult dog.
Hoops has been tested for dog playgroup. He can be very vocal and reactive at barriers and takes along time to settle down. He is young and can be intense towards other dogs and would do best with resilient playmates who won’t react negatively to his pushy play.
AUGUST - I just love this goofball. He is young and handsome and so playful. Hoops earned his name because he spent a good portion of our time together trying to fit basketballs into his mouth lol. Every so often, he'd move on to a small ball and do the same. Eventually, he got the hang of fetch and was good at it. He had no issues giving the ball up when I requested it and enjoyed running back and forth to fetch. Hoops quikly learned to sit for treats and allowed me to pet him and play with his goofy ears. He would make a great addition to any home or family that wants a playful, active dog, who also enjoys getting loved on. Great guy!
