My personality

My story

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

Dog meet and greets are by appointment only, please answer the questions below the bio, either through Petfinder, Adopt-A-Pet, Rescueme.org or by directly e-mailing us at shelter@hbpets.org. Please be patient, we try and get back to you as quick as possible.

Longest dog resident:

595 days, that is how long Luca has been at our shelter, 595 days, as of 4/18/24. We don't understand why, Luca is sweet, lovable, goofy, his recall is 90%, he knows sit, stay, leave-it, kennel and handsome boy (he tilts his head), he has a long list of many different breed dogs he has played with (from cattle dogs to Labradors to malamutes to German Shepard's), he does well at he groomers, he loves water, any kind of water, whether that be pool water or a muddy pond.

Luca came to us in 2022, from a local county shelter who have been hit hard with abandoned dogs, he was on their list to be euthanized due to overcrowding, they reached out and we took him in, we never expected him to still be here 595 days later. Sure, he cannot live with cats, he doesn't like intact male dogs or Alpha dogs and he shy's away from children under 10yrs, but he truly is he most amazing dog, he is coming up on his 2yr anniversary here, is there no one who will give this boy a home before then??
