Story
Hemi is a 5 year old, 52 pound American Bully mix with a big blocky head and an even bigger heart. This smooshy, happy guy is truly just content to hang out with his people and enjoy the simple things in life. Hemi is house trained when let out regularly. He is also crate trained and settles nicely in a crate, but he’s just as happy sleeping on a dog bed next to yours. He adjusts easily and would do well in a variety of home environments. He has a laid back personality and moderate exercise needs. Hemi enjoys brief walks, time in the yard, playing with toys, and then stretching out on the couch for a nap or to watch TV with you. He absolutely loves to chew, so having durable toys and bones available for him is important. If he gets bored without appropriate chew items, he may decide household items like slippers or clothing look tempting. Keeping him stocked with toys keeps him happy and on his best behavior. Hemi is friendly, outgoing, confident, and very loyal. He enjoys sitting in your lap, following you from room to room, and being near his person as much as possible. He may jump up briefly when first meeting someone because he’s excited, but he settles down quickly. He does well with dogs, cats, strangers, and kids. He has been around children as young as 2.5 and has done well with all ages. He would be fine as an only pet or in a home with other animals.  Hemi is simply a chill, happy boy who loves to snuggle and be part of the family. If you are looking for a loyal companion who is just as content relaxing at home as he is going for a short walk, Hemi may be your perfect match. His minimum adoption fee is $300 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Story
He's a sweet boy. Wouldnt hurt a flea.But he is ever emotional arousal driven. If you're not sure what that is Google before, you think about adopting him. He needs experience dog handler. Not an expert, but has a basic understanding of dog psychology. I can't give him. The emotional stimuli he needs and the proper amount of exercise. If you're up to the challenge, contact me.
