Herby

My story

Hi, everyone - meet Herby! Herby - meet everyone! Even though Herby just met you, everyone, he loves you. Because Herby loves...everyone! This happy boy has only been with us for a few days, but he's quickly settled in and become part of our home and our heart. Herby may be the poster child for why rescues like Hero take in at-risk dogs from shelters. He was the next dog on the list at the shelter up for euthanasia due to space constraints, and would have died within 24 hours. Hero stepped in, and thank goodness they did. This boy is so full of life, fun, and love, and he ONLY needs and deserves a home and people to share life with, which he will now have. Herby is a one year old wire haired terrier mix. He does really well in his crate, but of course prefers to be out near his people. He LOVES to play outside, and entertains himself in a variety of ways. He's very curious and likes to explore the yard and the woods. He is just a joy to watch as he plays around with his rubber bone or a tennis ball, tossing it, chasing it, or just lying there nibbling on it. He loves to chase balls thrown by his people, but prefers to then go hide them in a bush instead of bringing it back. He is very food motivated and a good eater, and loves his treats - especially a little bit of cheese every now and then. He is great with other dogs, and tries to engage but not in an obnoxious way that some dogs (like our personal dogs) wouldn't tolerate well. He is a good, good boy and will be a great addition to some lucky family soon. Rescued pups often take a while to adjust to their new temporary foster environment, slowly relaxing and showing who they are. This guy never bothered reading that chapter in the Foster Dog Owner's Manual, as he exuded happiness and shared his great personality right from the start. He's still working on his leash manners, but is a smart boy and should pick that up quickly. He is mostly potty trained...still doing a little bit of that boy dog "marking" which is already getting a lot better with the help of his trusty belly bands, and will improve even further following his neuter that will take place next week. This handsome, sweet boy is about 45 pounds and has medium energy. He is the real deal and will bring a lifetime of happiness to his new family, who wants to bring the same happiness to him.

Before inquiring, we thought it was important to share a few of our policies. Your Current Pets - We do require that your current dogs and cats are current on vaccines and spayed/neutered. Adoptions - We do not have a shelter and are a foster-home based organization. We do require that you have an approved adoption application to schedule a meet and greet. You can fill out an adoption application on our website, www.herorescue.org/adopt. Once your application is approved it will be sent to the foster family that is currently caring for the dog. They will be able to provide information on likes, dislikes, personality, etc. They will also schedule a time for you to meet the dog. We do require a home visit prior to adoption. Inquiries - If you would like more information on any dogs in the rescue, please email us at info@herorescue.org.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Herby, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
