Meet Hades!
Hades is a sweet, playful pup who is settling into foster life beautifully and gaining confidence every day. He loves being around other dogs and really thrives with canine friends to help show him the ropes, making him a great candidate for a home with another dog.
Hades currently lives with two elementary-aged children and a high schooler. Once he’s comfortable, he adores kids and happily shares kisses and playtime. He’s still learning not to jump when he gets excited, but he responds well to gentle guidance and positive reinforcement.
This observant boy is still building trust with humans and does best when people move at his pace—getting down to his level, speaking softly, and giving him time to warm up. Once that trust is built, his affectionate and playful personality truly shines.
Potty training is going well with only a few minor accidents. Hades is crate-trained and goes in and out comfortably, often choosing to relax there with the door open. He’s still gaining confidence exploring new areas of the home, but he especially enjoys hanging out in the kitchen.
Hades doesn’t mind wearing a collar or even a little jacket. He’s still adjusting to his harness and leash, but he does great in a fenced yard—where he loves running laps, especially in the snow! He’s an active pup who will benefit from regular exercise, playtime, and mental enrichment.
Toys are a big hit, especially squeaky ones! He’s learning that toys are better than socks and responds well to “no” and “drop it.” Hades is very food-motivated, which helps him learn quickly and makes training a fun experience for everyone.
Hades will thrive in a patient, active home ready to help him continue building confidence and discovering the world.
About Me (from Hades):
Hi! I’m Hades. I feel bravest when I have dog friends around—they help me learn and feel safe. I like kids too, and once I trust you, I’ll give you lots of kisses! I feel best when my humans get down on my level and talk to me softly. I might be shy at first, but once we’re friends, I’m playful, loving, and always happy to be by your side.
I’m learning lots of new things like going potty outside, sitting, and keeping all four paws on the floor. I love my toys, especially squeaky ones, and I really love treats—they help me learn fast! I’m still getting used to my harness, but once I’m outside, I’m ready to explore. I can’t wait to grow and learn with a family who will love me as much as I’ll love them.
