Story
Little Herman is the last of a litter of six puppies that were dropped at a state park where I was volunteering. I quickly found homes for five of his siblings, he is one of three fawns, there were two brindles and a copper. I'm a senior man who is a lover of the canine world. I have a 12 yr old boxer terrier and a 10 mo old terrier husky. They have been helping me with Herman so much. He's been with us since July 4th, he recieves consistent corrections and is very intelligent. He is very healthy and I only feed Victor brand foods. He is four months old an has lots of puppy testosterone, he is teething so he'll chew on most anything, so this needs monitoring, but that's puppy stuff. My dogs shop with me everywhere I go, so Herman has been doing the same, I put a puppy pad in the cart for cleanliness. He's great in the car and often suns himself in the back window. He has had proper wormings and is flea treated. He is going to become a great companion friend and new family member.

Story
RCHS does not conduct DNA tests on dogs who enter our facility therefore we are unable to guarantee breed or breed mix. Information provided by shelter staff, volunteers, and veterinarians is used to give a best estimate as to a dog’s breed make up. We do our best to inform adopters about the potential breeds for each dog.We are a dog only facility so we do not know how most of our dogs will be with cats. Even if a dog is surrendered to us and said to be good with cats there is no way to be sure the dog will be good with your cats. We do have a 7 day foster-to-adopt program so that you can see how the dog interacts with your cats before adoption.
