About Hoss

I am 2 years old, 47 lbs., and seeking my forever home! I was found by animal control as a stray and they transferred me to the shelter to be adopted. Adoption Donation: $350 Hoss is overflowing with love!! He makes everyone around him smile. He likes to hug!! If you let him, he will stand up and give you the most gentle embrace ever. He gives kisses to everyone he meets and his tail never stops wagging. Hoss is a quick learner and usually comes when he's called. He will sit, especially when you have a tasty treat or want to take him for a walk. He is not food aggressive and takes food gently from your hand. Hoss loves to play with toys and will join in the fun when you toss a ball! Because of his inquisitive and playful nature, he may be best suited in a house without cats. He is a great traveling buddy in the car. He loves long walks (on the beach or anywhere else too) and he even enjoys a nice, warm bath!! Even though he's 2 years young, Hoss has the heart of a puppy and has so many new things to discover that he's never, ever had before (like stairs L.) So he needs a patient and gentle owner, to go paw in paw with him on his journey. When you meet him, one thing is for sure - Hoss will melt your heart. All dogs are microchipped, neutered/spayed, current on all vaccines, heart-worm tested and started on Tri Heart Plus & Vectra 3D. All family members and any dogs from the household need to be present at the time of the adoption. Our website is always kept 100% up to date with who is currently available. All new animals (40/week) are added to the site 2 weeks before their availability date to give you time to fill out your adoption application and get the family ready to come out to the shelter that day. As soon as animals are adopted, they are moved to the Adopted Pets page so if they are still listed on the Adoptable Dogs or Cats page, they are still available. Keep any eye on our website for any animals being added as available for adoption as new animals are added everyday! We would recommend if you haven't done so already that you submit a general online adoption application with us so it is on file for when you are ready to come out and adopt. The adoption counselors will be able to show you many that would be a good fit for your family. We do go in order of when you submitted your application with us. So it is always best that you get your general application for any animal in with us as soon as possible. Please fill out an online application and we will give you a call as soon as we receive it. Visit our 'Adopt' page to view adoption process steps, policies, requirements and FAQ. View our 'Visit' page for hours and directions to our shelter. We look forward to seeing you soon!
