Hickory

My story

Hickory is one of those older, distinguished gentlemen who is looking for a home that will give him the love, comfort, and attention he deserves in his golden years. In his foster home, we learned that this senior has plenty of spring in his step! He loves running around the backyard, playing with his oversized tennis ball, and smelling all the smells. He loves going for walks in the neighborhood and walks very well on a leash. He is potty trained, but being an older guy, he appreciates mid-day potty breaks. We have also learned that Hickory may not hear so well so he heavily relies on his eyes and nose to investigate the world around him. During doggie playgroups, Hickory was a senior with swagger. Even in his advanced age, he was able to make the ladies swoon! He pranced around the yard. He was eager to engage and make friends, and he played with two females at one time. This guy definitely seemed like he was in his glory to be the center of attention of two girl dogs!In his current foster home, he happily lives with three other dogs: one spayed female and two neutered males. He truly loves to have the company, so it is highly recommended he is in a home with another dog friend as his emotional support friend. :)Heartworm Sponsorship: Hickory has heartworms but it's treatable and not contagious.
