And he's looking for a person all his own for his golden years. Like a warm body under the covers and snuggled next to you at night: Hooch is YOUR PERSONAL SNUGGLE BUDDY! What is my personality like: Hooch came to CPR when his owners passed away. Relatives were supposed to take care of the dog, but sadly didn't and he landed in a shelter in TN. A CPR staff member took one look at this boy and knew he was coming to our rescue! Hooch is an adventurous guy who is young at heart. He loves loves to cuddle as close to his humans as possible. Have other dogs? Hooch loves them! Have cats: He is great with them too! Hooch loves to go for car rides. Hooch is very food motivated. He doesn't have any teeth so soft food and soft treats are necessary for this boy. Hooch wants a family that will take him everywhere and never leave him again! How do I act when I first meet new people: Friendly Tips and Tidbits: The paperwork from the shelter stated that Hooch is 19 years old. We estimated he is closer to 14. If we went on energy and personality, this boy would be closer to 10! Don't let Hooch's age scare you - this boys has LOTS of love and live to share! House trained: Per his foster mom, Hooch is mostly house trained. Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained. A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
