Bump

My story

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please email the adoption counselor: lisastern.tr@gmail.com  and request an adoption application.  Dog's Name:  Bump (BUM0125CCGMD) Estimated Breed: Mini Great Dane Mix   Approximate Age:  4 years Approximate Weight:  75 pounds Currently Living at:  Foster Adoption Fee:  $400   DOG'S DESCRIPTION:  Warning: May Cause Excessive Smiling  Are you emotionally stable and physically prepared to fall head over heels in love with a 75-pound goofball who thinks he's a lapdog? Then boy, do we have the canine catch of the century for you: Meet BUMP!  Don’t let the name fool you — Bump is less of a bump and more of a full-speed freight train of love, affection, and enthusiasm.   Meet Your New Life Coach Bump is a sweet, affectionate, people-loving hunk of dog who’s on a mission to make everyone feel like they’re the most important person in the world. His foster describes him as a “gem of a personality,” and honestly, who are we to argue with someone who gives free kisses and tail wags like it’s their full-time job?   Qualifications: Crate-trained? Yep. Housetrained? You betcha. Knows "sit"? Like a pro (with a treat bribe, of course). Comes when called? Faster than your pizza delivery. Counter-surfs like a culinary critic? Unfortunately, yes… but we’re working on it. Jumps up for hugs? It’s his love language, okay? He’s also been practicing walking on a leash... kind of like an overenthusiastic toddler who's just had espresso. He’s a bit of a zig-zagger and may accidentally turn your casual stroll into CrossFit, but hey — who needs a gym membership?   Health & Fitness Influencer When Bump first came to us, he was a scrawny lad. But with the power of love, food, and sheer determination (mostly food), he’s packed on a healthy 15 pounds and is looking like a solid 11/10 good boy. He’s still bulking, though, and will happily accept snacks for science.  Bump’s Dream Home: Bump would thrive in an active home where he can go on daily adventures and channel his inner Olympic athlete. A big yard? Fantastic. A jogging buddy? Even better. An adopter who understands big dogs and knows that love sometimes comes with a side of muddy paw prints and face licks? Perfect. Other dogs? He LOVES them. Cats? Unconfirmed, but we wouldn’t put it past him to try to befriend one. Humans? Obsessed. Prepare to be followed to the bathroom. So if you’ve been waiting for a sweet, silly, athletic, sometimes clumsy but always lovable companion to complete your home (and steal your snacks), Bump is your guy. Adopt Bump. Your couch will never be lonely again.  Adoption fees cover basic vetting, spay/neuter surgery (for dogs over 6 months old), rabies, distemper/parvo vaccinations, treatment for worms, heartworm testing, monthly heartworm prevention and monthly flea/tick prevention (while the animal is in our care), and transport costs from high-kill shelter. Please note that on average, Hatton Animal Rescue spends significantly more on each dog than the adoption fee.
