Hoover

My story

We love a good comeback story! So we are very excited to introduce you to adorable & adoptable Hoover, who came to us almost completely bald from mange. From the streets to your side — Hoover is finally getting his chance to be someone’s whole world! He’s about 18 months old, full of personality, incredibly sweet, and once his coat grows back in, he’s going to be even more ridiculously cute.He loves a fenced yard and furry friends, but he’s also a total velcro dog! When you come home, expect the happiest little whining welcome—he just misses you that much. He may have a bit of separation anxiety, but so far there’s been no destructive behavior—he really just loves his humans.Hoover is still very much a young dog. He picked up house training quickly with a dog door, but will need help learning a routine without one. He’s still figuring out things like walking nicely on a leash or being mouthy during play. His forever home will need to provide the kind of guidance you’d expect for his age and history. The great news is he’s incredibly in tune with his environment and takes cues from everything around him—especially other dogs. He’s already shown how quickly he can learn by following the lead of a well-adjusted dog in the home.He hasn’t shown any resource guarding—just a normal preference for his space at times, which is completely typical. With his personality, he will do well with other animals and kids with proper guidance.Hoover is the kind of dog who will bond deeply with his people—he just wants love, structure, and someone to stick by his side. He’s already come so far, we can’t wait to see where he goes next! Hoover is heartworm positive and will be treated at CSRA/SA expense at one of our partner vets. He will need a local adopter in the San Antonio or Austin are for this. Interested in adoption? Our adoptions require an approved application. You can find that application on our website.
