2 years old (estimated) Neutered male 33 lbs. Has done well with another dog at the shelter Did not have a negative reaction when he saw cats No known experience with children Doing well with potty training at the shelter Hoover is a sweet, goofy boy with a heart full of love and a zest for life! He adores everyone he meets and is always ready to make a new friend. This happy guy is very treat motivated, knows how to sit, and has been doing well with his potty training in the kennel. Hoover loves playing with a ball, going for walks, and handing out kisses like candy. With his fun-loving personality and affectionate nature, Hoover would make a wonderful and loyal companion to a lucky adopter! Hoover has been waiting a while to find his family so his adopter can name their own adoption fee when they take him home!  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.July 10, 2025, 5:36 pm
