Hermes' favorite place to be is outside. He loves it! He enjoys running and chase, chewing and digging. He also will run away if given the chance in search of more fun things to do. He weighs 42 pounds and is very active and playful. He is afraid of baths. He enjoys leading while on a leash because he gets excited. He is working on house training and spent his days either outside, crated, or in a room. When he needs to go out he'll whine or bark. He has been at the shelter long enough now that he has probably forgotten his previous training so he'll need a refresher course. He is easygoing, friendly, and playful with other dogs but may be picky about his canine companions. You will need to bring your dog to meet him. He is friendly and playful with teenagers but has no experience with children. He loves being petted. He came from a home with too many animals and there wasn't enough room for him. Please offer Hermes the home and family he needs. He has a bigger than life personality and promises to make your life more fun and exciting. (tw 7/10/2023)
Foster update: Hermes is now house trained and has learned how to use a doggie door. He has also learned how to swim and loves being in a pool. He got along well with his foster's dogs and loves chase and wrestling. He has no desire to be the alpha dog. If you have questions about Hermes or would like to meet him, please reach out to his foster at sues2dogs@gmail.com (sm 8/13/2023)
