Drexel is a Weimaraner & staffi mix. He has a beautiful silky grey coat. He doesn't even shed! Drexel is great with other dogs and cats (his foster family has them). He's also been wonderful and gentle with all the children he's met at adoption events. Drexel was in foster for a few months and here's what they had to say about him, "Drexel is perhaps the most intelligent dog you will meet. He learned basic commands almost instantly and knows heel, sit, down, off, up, as well as distinguishing between shake and high five. Drexel is also house-trained and crate-trained, and mostly quiet unless he wants your attention. 'Playful' may just be his middle name and he gets along well with dogs and cats. He does need a firm hand, especially when he gets excited as he is strong and does like to jump up to give hugs and kisses and horseplay. While Drexel loves walks and being outside, he's somewhat fearful of loud trucks and he needs some more leashing training. He is also content chewing his toys by your side and cuddling (either with humans or his furry counterparts). He is high-energy and a Velcro dog. But given his curiosity and how easily he learns, could, with patience, be trained to continue growing in confidence and become more independent. You will be hard-pressed to find a sweeter or more loyal pup to join your family plus it doesn't hurt how handsome he is; he turns heads everywhere he goes." Given Drexel's size and strength, he'd be better in a home with no small children. Drexel's $250 adoption fee covers his neuter, microchip, and vaccinations, including rabies. If you think Drexel might be your next best friend, head to our website at www.hsnb.org and fill out an adoption interest form.

Additional adoption info
We test animals for the following:
Dogs: Good with other dogs, possibly cats, food aggression, walks on leash, noting any other attributes we may know.
Cats: Good with other cats, litter box trained, noting any other attributes we may know.
We cannot test if any animal is good with children. We may know if an animal is possibly house trained, but cannot guarantee any animal in the shelter is house trained. We do not know if a dog is good with cats unless we are advised by a person surrendering the animal. We may have an idea of this depending on how the dog reacts to our community cats that live on the property.
Please visit our website for current fees, and to find out about adoption specials! (The website link is at the top and bottom of this page)
