My story

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

  • 5.5 years old (estimated)
  • Neutered male
  • 68 lbs.
  • Gets along with other dogs

Last year, I had a tough time when I was attacked by another dog, and my previous owners couldn't provide the medical care I needed. Thankfully, they brought me to a shelter where I could get the necessary help and find a new home. Despite waiting six long months, I never found a family. Now, I'm here at the HSJC, ready for a fresh start and hoping for some better luck! I'm a smart pup who loves to learn new tricks, especially if treats are involved. I've made some canine friends at the shelter, but I have to admit, people are really my favorite! I'm a bit of a velcro dog, always sticking close to my human pals and soaking up all the attention I can get. Give me some booty scratches, and I'll reward you with all the kisses you could ever want! I'm playful and energetic, but I also know how to relax and enjoy some quality snuggle time. If you're looking for a loyal companion to join you on life's journey, I'm your guy!

The online adoption listing websites require that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.

Additional requirements may apply depending upon the individual animal.

Upon adoption, the adopter is required to sign a contract agreeing to provide the animal with the care and medical treatment he or she needs throughout his or her life. They also must agree to provide the animal with an indoor home and if at any point in the animal's life the adopter is unable to keep the animal, the animal must be returned to the shelter.

More about this shelter

The HSJC is located in Jefferson, Wisconsin and is a small, privately run non-profit shelter that has been in operation since 1922. We recently celebrated our 90th year of caring for dogs, cats, birds and other small animals in need. Each year, close to 1,000 pets find sanctuary at our shelter. We put forth great effort to reunite owners with lost pets and to find good new homes for those who need a second chance. We do not impose a time limit on how long a healthy, adoptable animal may stay with us as they wait to be adopted.
