My personality

My story

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

Sir Hadley’s Backstory:

Sir Hadley was brought into a partnering animal control facility, matted and neglected. His hair was so dirty and matted on his face that he could not see. Animal Saints was asked to help pull him to safety during the overcapacity issues in their facility. It is an honor to help Sir Hadley in his second chance and to find his lifetime family!


Get to Know Sir Hadley:

Age: approximately 8 (range of 6-8 given by most recent veterinarian)
Weight: 16 pounds
Neutered: yes
Heart worm test: negative
Dewormer: yes
Fecal exam: negative
Bloodwork: normal ranges overall
- Very slight elevations in a few which are indicative of dehydration from recent rescue transport (bloodwork taken upon arrival to hospital). Can provide full bloodwork panel upon request.
Flea and tick treatment: yes
Heart worm prevention treatment: yes
Vaccines: rabies, distemper, bordetella
Dental: yes — cleaning
Potty training — working on it and will take direction


Hadley has been given a thorough exam with several tests to ensure he is ready to go in this second chance.

Personality:
Hadley is gentle and sweet. He takes everything in stride and gets along with everyone. He is currently living with several dogs, and he enjoys everyone. Cats, too.

PLEASE NOTE: his hair will grow indefinitely, and he will need professional grooming every 4-6 weeks. Only apply if you understand the additional maintenance and cost that these dear hair-not-fur souls need and are willing to commit to life for such care.

Ideal Home:

Sir Hadley is easygoing, but he is still catching his breath from the neglect he endured before Animal Saints pulled him to safety. He needs a quieter and gentler home. He is smart and inquisitive. He is laidback, but he needs someone wiling to keep his curiosity going with puzzles and training, This will allow him to flourish and give him what he needs.

For Sir Hadley’s adoption, we require basic foundational skills in-person training with a certified positive reinforcement trainer in your area. This is to begin right after adoption to set Hadley and his new family up for a successful transition. It is an to excellent way to connect and bond with the new member of your family, and it ensures that Hadley will be given the attention, love, and confidence he needs in his second chance at life. The classes are also SO much fun and are such a positive way to begin this new journey in life with your new Animal Saint.

People who work from home or are retired are an ideal match for dear Hadley. He needs a fenced-in yard for good exercise and/or walks on a leash.

Gent Sir Hadley is ready to get settled in to his lifetime home. Will it be you? We look forward to finding out!
