My story

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


Meet Hector – A Shy Dog Program Superstar!

Hector is a sweet 1-year-old pup who came to us with his brother Mannie, and this gentle boy has come a long way. As a proud graduate of our Shy Dog Program, he’s worked hard to build his confidence, and it truly shows. While he may still be a little reserved when first meeting new people, give him just a moment and he’ll reveal his affectionate, curious side. This handsome youngster knows sit, takes treats with the softest mouth, and absolutely lights up for anything snack-related. He also adores toys—especially the ones that squeak—and enjoys splashing or soaking in the pool whenever he gets the chance.

Hector is friendly with other dogs and is easy to walk, making him a lovely companion for quiet strolls or gentle playtime. He’s shown positive interest in dogs through the fence, but we always recommend bringing your dog for a meet and greet to ensure it’s the perfect match. With patience, kindness, and a calm home, Hector is ready to continue blossoming into the confident, loving dog he’s meant to be. He’s already done so much growing—now he just needs his person.
